So your hypothesis is:
* Company grows profits
* Company decides to spend profit on head count
* Profit goes down
Why do you believe that's the case? Any hard data?
I'd say it's more usually
* Company makes profit
* Company invests in more people
* Profits rise, company grows.
- alanthonyc 18y agoWell I think we've identified the point in which our opinions diverge. 1. Company makes profit. 2. Company invests in more people. 3. Profits rise, company grows. Step 2 is not a prerequisite for step 3. And what you state is my hypothesis is not what I'm saying either. How about this: 1 - Company makes profit. 2 - Company figures out how to grow profits, regardless of increase or decrease of headcount. 3 - Profits rise. What, do you work in HR or something? (jk)
- axod 18y ago>> "What, do you work in HR or something? (jk)" Heh no. I'm a single founder with a 'lifestyle business', making money off it currently. But I plan to grow the business (head count+diversify) when I can.
