How exactly is that a good way to think about it? What proportion of employees at a tech company are tasked with bringing in revenue and why would that be expected to scale linearly?
Google is a terrible point of comparison because we have plenty of direct evidence that thousands of people at Google are doing nothing of any consequence to the business
- danpalmer 3y agoIt's a rough measure of business efficiency. You're right that many people aren't directly related to bringing in revenue, that's inefficient (although necessary at some level), and so they change the denominator and reduce the overall amount. The fact that Google has ~$1.5m revenue per employee suggests that it's a more efficient business than LinkedIn's at $700k.
