Well, if total average costs per employee for G would be very roughly 1 million, there you have it. I think it may be half of that if at all, but it impacts the increased revenue significantly in any case.

Costs do not impact revenue only profits.

I agree with the sentiment, but costs do impact revenue when those costs represent an investment in something that can be used to increase revenue, like employees.

+1. Employees can generally boost revenues (if used correctly).

The post I was replying to was implying that cutting employees boosted revenues somehow.
