The article says ByteDance has “1,00,000 employees,” a number I initially read (understandably, I think) as one million. Other sources say they have around 150

The article says ByteDance has “1,00,000 employees,” a number I initially read (understandably, I think) as one million.
Other sources say they have around 150k employees. With 10k laid off, that would indeed be about 7%
- telotortium 4y agoThe weird commas are because it's from an Indian site. Indian languages usually count by one, ten, hundred, thousand, and then lakh (one hundred thousand), crore (ten million), etc. That's why there's an additional comma just after the hundred thousands place.
