That was including those folks. HR departments are tiny, and increasingly automated. W2 is done by ADP or a similar system, same with billing alongside CFO oversight. My last group had one lawyer per 1000 engineers or so.

Outsourcing the tail doesn't mean it doesn't exist (it might make it slightly more efficient, or it might just be a convenience bevause it gives you someone else that is liable in the event of a mistake.)

Sure it does. ADP has about 60K people, and 620K _companies_ as customers. That's on average 0.1 ADP employee per entire client org.
