Employees went up significantly: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28Microsoft+employee+count%29 https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28Microsoft+employee+c...
Revenue leveled off: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28Microsoft+revenue%29 https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28Microsoft+revenue%29
Profits are on a downward slope now: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28Microsoft+profits%29 https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28Microsoft+profits%29
Yes, they're 50% greater than they were in 2019. The staffing is at about 1.5x what it was in 2019 too.
So, crystal ball time - what will revenue be a year from now? Will the profit per employee be lower than it was in 2019?

And if the answer is no, should Microsoft lay people off or hold off on salary increases?
- oblio 4y agoOh noes! The tragedy! Their revenue and profit per employee will be at their highest points for every year until at least 2020! Who could ever bear that???
