    I’m always surprised how many employees these companies have. 18.400?

    Working in a large software company myself I shouldn’t be surprised, the level of inefficiency is amazing. I’ve seen less inertia in government agencies. Dilbert comics were supposed to be an exaggeration, they’re not.

      This is particularly painful for all these middle-men companies like booking.com, eBay/equivalents, Uber, etc etc. So much wasted resources that is literally only there to extract as much as they can from transactions between two other parties, really all that’s needed from these services is a functioning platform, something 3 motivated engineers could probably maintain (exaggerating for effect).

      All this stuff should be either open source or nationalised.

    At least they’ll have somewhere to show they’re available for work now.

    Moore’s Law is dead. Peak employment in tech has been reached. God help the kids in computer science.

    I’m surprised they even have that many workers. What do they do all day?
