Were you trying to say 500-1000 of the employees isn't a huge number?

- ghostpepper 3y agoIt's roughly 4%. I would not call 4% of anything huge.
- Freedom2 3y agoConsensus is that a 4% APR on a savings account is huge...
- kenjackson 3y agoThat's just an absurd statement. If there was a new airline that said, "Only 4% of our flights end in crashes" -- I think you'd avoid it at all costs. Another way to look at his pay -- is he worth 4X what Satya is? Is he having 4X the positive impact at Google as what Satya is at Microsoft? Or another way to put it, what if you ONLY paid him $50M and kept 400 engineers (assuming they weren't laying off underperformers) -- would they be better off?
- doctor_eval 3y agoWell, turn it around. Instead of letting go of 12,000 people, if they cut his salary to zero the they would “only” have let go of 11,000. Nevertheless, I still think the outrage is justified. Just not on financial grounds.
