Is more engineers necessary better? Especially when it gets to 120,000.

I don’t think BYD would have 120,000 engineers on payroll if they weren’t nessesary.

It’s possible they would. Maybe they’d want to make sure the government wants them to stay operating at any cost, because if the government fails to do so they’ll have 120,000 unemployed engineers.

That’s a whopping 0.00008% of china, I did that calculation because I thought it would be a bigger percentage than that. 120,000 is a lot! I guess that puts into perspective how big the Chinese population is.

Also the chinese govenment wants technological development, there goal is to be at the forefront of computers and carbon neutral technology. BYD is leading the electric car industry right now and China wants them to prosper, not shut them down.

.008%, you forgot to convert to a percentage

Still very small though

Oh I thought I did do that, I must have just copied the wrong result.

A lot of companies get bloated and have totally unnecessary emplyees tbh

Nah, this doesn’t seem like a valid argument. A lot of companies these days have a ton of unnecessary employees

How much BYD engineers do you need to screw in a lightbulb?
