I am really not debating whether over hiring is possible in factories.
in tech cost of hiring is lower which makes headcount a much easier speculative bet and layoffs a much easier reset when the bet fails.
- rpdillon 8mo agoThe 90th percentile of factory workers makes $45,000. The 90th percentile of software engineers makes $230,000. Hiring in tech is insanely expensive; I'm not familiar with hiring in factories, but it can't possibly have the supply problems that tech workers have. I do on average 115 interviews for every person I hire in tech.
- paulnpace 8mo agoThat $45,000 factory worker is often operating a $1.5 million piece of equipment with $10-50,000/hr of materials going through it. It's an entirely different cost structure.
