Successful Company Bureaucracy

Successful social media companies begin in a shed with 12 coders, and end up in a sumptuous glass tower with 1200 HR staffers, 2000 product managers, 5000 salespeople, 20 gourmet chefs, and 12 coders

The meme contrasts a social media company’s humble beginnings with its lavish corporate future. Despite growing into a huge glass tower with thousands of employees and perks, it still has only 12 coders, mocking bloated bureaucracy and misplaced priorities. It is sent as a sarcastic reaction to corporate excess and inefficient tech companies.
