It's staggering to think, if you are right, how much more profitable Facebook or Twitter or Dropbox would be if they had productive office space, don't you thin

It's staggering to think, if you are right, how much more profitable Facebook or Twitter or Dropbox would be if they had productive office space, don't you think?
- mbesto 12y agoYup, agreed! Precisely my point above - for a bunch of companies who pride themselves on engineering efficiency and see progress as a result, it would seem very odd that they would chose to actively defy an irrefutable claim on productivity...
- bane 12y agoHigher productivity does not always translate into higher profitability.
- nerfhammer 12y agoThese companies have golden egg-laying geese products and 15% more or less productivity won't make a big difference in making or breaking the market for them. Think about it this way: did Google beat Altavista because its employees were 15% more productive? Meanwhile, Microsoft, Google, etc. have whole huge divisions that don't make any money.
