It ain't rocket science to know why tech hires (and fires) too many people.
In reality it's a company that operates around the world across an enormous number of jurisdictions, dealing with governments and censorship and laws and regulations. That has a significant legal operation, a significant moderation operation, and deals with payments to many streamers, again in many jurisdictions. The non-"tech" part of the organization has to be considerable.
Twitch has seen collapsing revenue and they need to right-size, but these sort of peanut gallery "hurrr how can they have so many employees" narrative about virtually every tech company is always so...misled.
I took into account it's worldwide stage.
>The non-"tech" part of the organization has to be considerable.
Not really. Contract work exists for new market capture.
>narrative about virtually every tech company is always so...misled.
Not misled at all. It's very much a reality. It only upsets those who are part of waste.
Who do you think is "upset"? Does that make you feel more confident in your positions by projecting emotions on people who disagree than you?
Twitch has seen their revenues fall by 2/3rds so they're cutting heads. But their staffing levels are not remotely out of bounds for the scale of the operation.
As an aside, the fallback that "oh and also all that other stuff can just be done by contract employees" is you ceding that your original comment was just noisy nonsense.
Their staffing levels are remotely out of bounds for the scale of the operation.
No, I am not ceding anything. Locale and expanding market work is frequently done by contractors.
But yeah, you still sound upset it seems.
I joke but seriously the workload at Twitch must be minimal, it's great to see companies finally bring their headcount back to normal.
The amount of tech jobs that shouldn't exist is amazing.
