What kind of business is that? That level of spending seems insane based on headcount. At least without knowing anything about the business. Are you running public facing services or something? What does that look like as a percentage of revenue?

Infrastructure. Datacenter costs are a relatively high percentage of revenue. No public facing services - only large clients.

Sure... but at least they're not using the cloud! Just a whole bunch of servers!

Working at a medium-sized bank the data center costs were very significant.

This one had 600 on-site employees serving 12 million customers. Not sure how many were off-site.
