That would imply that if you left, the company’s revenue would go down by that amount. But of course it wouldn’t. Because you’re part of a team, not the center of the universe. I see this bullshit thinking all the time on Blind, so I just wanted to clarify. ✌️ Tc 500
Keeping it short and sweet. Got laid off from a public traded company I worked hard at as a revenue generator for 8 years in January. Wasn’t aligned with idiot leadership. Went and built my own company, and broke 100k/monthly revenue by Nov. Last 30 days = 153.8k Nov 2023 so far = 89.1k 12 months...Read more
Apple market cap has been highest from a long time because of nice profit margin. Apple isn’t a tech company, it’s a marketing company. They sell their product at 1000% profit by manufacturing items in China. Apart from that, Apple does racketeering by extorting companies’ revenue if you have app ...Read more

Nutanix revenue has been flat in the last year and although the stock kind of recovered after the last earnings call it seems like the company is not the leader in what they're doing anymore (overtaken by VMWare). They are heavy on engineering - around 3000 out of <5000 employees total which could
OK you all saw layoffs from the perspective of the employee or the spectator. Want to share from leadership side how things work.

Zuck laid off ~22k ex-meta's and consistently increased Meta's revenue by double digits in the last few quarters. Stock price is taking ride to the moon. So getting rid of a quarter of the company not only did not hurt the company bottom line one bit, it actually improved it by a lot. Does that mean...Read more
Big Tech (MAANG) layoffs have a whopping <;5% savings in terms of revenue. Meta laying off 11K employees at avg 400K = $4.4 bil savings against 88 bil revenue, i.e. 5% savings. After that they splurge $15 bil in metaverse madness https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/26/meta-plans-to-lose-even-more-money-
Took me a long time to understand how market cap valuations work, hopefully this post is helpful for someone. The market values a company not by revenue, and not even just by current earnings (aka net income or profit after taxes), but more importantly future earnings. This is why smaller but fast ...Read more
Meta executives have better ideas about the revenue/cost/structure in their company, why don’t they do it by themselves to save the consulting fees? #tech #meta #bain

Is it being driven by cost cutting? Or unprofitable products or businesses? Or AI? Outside or search, hardware, Yo...Read more
how do you think will microsoft/google make money from AI (except search related use cases)? will they price it in the office/gsuite products? meaning now these products will cost more and bring additional revenue? if so, wouldn’t it be just incremental and not like a new source of revenue by itsel...Read more
I'm curious how taxes work for corporate companies. e.g., if some tech company or hedge fund makes $X amount of money in revenue in 2024, and $Y amount of that money is the base pay and bonus for employees, is that $Y amount subject to taxation by the feds?
SAP is the only big software company in Europe and biggest by far, 10x revenue of second largest European software company. SAP accounts for 1/3 software revenue of European companies. And guess what? SAP is the biggest pile of horseshit ever. Why Europeans are so bad at building software?
