To $300k-$400k+ per employee at scale. So cuts continue. But don’t the headlines obscure what’s really happening, because they tend to shout out quieter trends.

When you break the value of each day and even each minute down, it’s easier to realize how intentional time needs to be spent in order to hit quota.
