Facebook reportedly laying off thousands of employees
It’s crazy to me how Facebook has so many employees when their entire business is basically managing 3 software products (Facebook, instagram and the advertising platform).Meanwhile I think Apple has about the same number of employees if you subtract the retail Apple store workers.Yet, Apple’s business is comprised of managing, and this is only a rough guess:- 30+ hardware products and their supply chain, marketing and distribution- A microprocessor and component design business- 3 entire operating systems and developer tools and app store sales infrastructure for each- 50+ software products and services, including competitors for Microsoft office suite, Netflix, Spotify, Google Chrome, Dropbox, Adobe Premier, Zoom,  and more- a film & tv production business- a massive physical retail store footprint- a global e-commerce store- I’m sure I’m forgetting something else
