As usually with these kind of posts, what’s happening inside the company (which is composed of many divisions and geographic locations, etc.) and what people perceive from the outside are two completely different things. I would not take this article at face value. There’s been such an article every month since the 2016 elections. They are useless, don’t lead to any interesting discussions on HN, yet people continue to upvote them to the FO because “hurr durr facebook is evil”
- tester756 4y agoExactly News medias talk about companies that hire 100 000s people, across 10s of countries, cultures, etc, etc and then write their stories basing on opinion of 4 random employees
- chank 4y agoA lot of large companies stage senior execs in places to simply say they have business presence for tax purposes. Just look at any company that has a bunch of top execs in Switzerland but don't actually make anything there.
- cudgy 4y agoDo they have to be top execs to have a presence?
- chank 4y agoI'm not sure of the exact qualifications, but some senior business owner typically needs to be included. I believe there is a headcount requirement as well, but no requirements on what that headcount does. Most large companies have zero issues meeting the requirements. For a small business/startup it's likely not worth it.
