Too many employees equals too many people doing nothing

Locked

I am writing this with a background of software development teams.

I have noticed that there more the number of people an organization has the more people I am likely to find surfing the web, chatting on Google talk or something like that. In my opinion the numbers only increase the company bills. I am not a manager (yet), but I would think that there should be a limit to the number of employees that a company can have in the building.

It lokos like the more the people, the easier it is for employees to drown and not be noticed or monitored.

Look at percentages, not raw numbers

If 10 people in a 100 person company are wasting time on the web, that’s 10%.

If 500 people in a 5000 person company are wasting time, it’s still 10%.
