The GP post was a wall of text basically explaining how you can't run a large website without tens thousands of staff. Surely it would fall apart if you suddenly cull 10% one fine Friday?

I've worked at lots of companies where the product isn't optimized, it didn't handle Chinese or Arabic queries, or there were organizational issues. These things don't make a company fall apart suddenly, although they could be impediments for growth.

That is, in fact, not what it said.
It didn't say that you absolutely needed tens of thousands of staff, but that tens of thousands of staff often made sense to hire.
