I would rather see a company be smaller and do things properly and efficiently then being some massive bloated shithole that lays off thousands every few years while simultaneously making their products crappier and crappier and crappier.
What allways confused me as a kid was when I watched the news and just kept seeing news about mass lay-offs, yet never hearing about mass hirings…
Some companies fired 500, 1000 people and you didn’t even think they have that many to begin with.
And you can be sure they hire just as many people in the following years.
Agreed but Valve seems to be so lean that it’s just understaffed. It’s easy to have little staff when most of your products can keep running with next to no maintenance and you’re just there to administrate over a monopoly.
I find it hard to believe that the average salary of a “steam” employee in 2021 is nearly $1M. I assume most of that went to 1-2 leaders.
You’d be correct. This is why median gives you a better representation of a general population. Averages can easily be distorted.
Yeah, the sentiment is great and all, but we don’t have that data.
Well seeing as your graphic shows someone making 5k, I’m not sure I’m going to trust it 100%
It’s an example
If you change the 5k and 15k to 30k each, the mean becomes 506k and the median stays 100k
Yeah, my guess is much more is getting lumped into those figures. Maybe server costs.
