In Europe, small companies tend to be exempted. E.g. no GDPR data protection officer required when less than 250 people in the company. 10, 50 and 100 are also personnel counts seen on a regular base.
In practice, a lot of companies stop growing just below the limit, and e.g. split in parts that have supplier relations to each other. No, we don't have 2000 employees. We are a group of 200 companies, owned by the same owners, and having 10 employees each.
- rightbyte 4y agoHaving 200 boards can't be more cost effective than not hiring one data protection officer, right? Even two boards has to be more expensive.
- corroclaro 4y agoThen again, humans struggle to connect, at what, 200-300 people? so maybe it's not terrible to build something like a zaibatsu

I've heard that a company of 99 and 110 people de facto have the same amount of people doing work, the 10 extra people are all the extra laws that go in effect at exactly 100 employees. SO There is also impact on worker protection. If your people go on strike, or if you want to do mass layoffs, you just dissolve a few companies. I presume board requirements are a lot smaller for such tiny companies, too.
