Not sure if we're in the same page here: An "AirBNB host" and an "employee" are not the same thing. If you think that they are, then the problem I was trying to describe is deeper than I thought.
- cma 12y agoMy point was you are looking at gross revenue, when they are really a booking agent, so they only get about 3% of that revenue after reimbursing hosts. Hosts do the cleaning, service, etc. that makes up the bulk of the 200,000 employee number for Marriott. If you want to compare net profit instead of gross revenue and say it is sick, I don't think the 200,000 employees would care, since their pay subtracts from Marriott's profit.
