That said, I still agree with the above post. Fitbit has 1,600 employees and actually ships globally. This was excessive.
Of course, per the standard corporate model nowadays, Fitbit in its time as an independent company didn't directly employ the people who do the manufacturing, logistics, retail sales, or front line customer support (nor of course the people who do janitorial services, security, food service, etc for those folks.)
So I don't think it was fair of GP to say:
> All your comment really shows is how little you know about how many people it takes to run a large business
Although perhaps it was more fair to say:
> you don't really understand what Peleton do
Personally, I concluded from the headline that there must be an interesting story there.
