“Software companies like Microsoft, they should have like $500 million per employee,” Cusumano says. “It could be higher than that, but when it starts to get below that, you start to worry that they’ve got too much headcount. So that’s something people look at on a yearly or even quarterly basis.”
Pretty much exactly how apocalyptic c19 narrative from the paranoid catastrophians spread out too.

“Software companies like Microsoft, they should have like $500 million per employee,” Cusumano says. “It could be higher than that, but when it starts to get below that, you start to worry that they’ve got too much headcount.' lmao wut?
