When they said Reddit has 2000 employees I was shocked. what could they possibly do onto a website that is basically run by users (and sysadmins) and that is basically feature-wise mature? I really can’t figure out 2000 people working every day on Reddit… on what? just for a quick comparison, the whole IAmA was run by a single person (Victoria), so… what are they doing?

    Well, there is the guy that makes the coffee, and then there’s the guy who makes his coffee and the guy who makes his … you get the gist.

    Jokes aside, I don’t get it either. Sure, they need a certain amount of employees to run the company, but I would’ve never thought they are more than maybe 500.

      Whoa, whoa, whoa you can’t have a guy just make coffee. First we need to have a meeting to discuss this, then form a sub committee to put together a survey, then follow up meetings to approve the survey and email verbiage, then more committee meetings to compile the results and another meeting with top brass to review the results and approve the coffee selection. Then we will need another meeting to form a new committee to write the bid for the coffee contract. A meeting to approve the bid. A committee to review bids and pick a winner, a meeting to review the review of the bids and formally approve the contract. Then purchasing will need to meet to determine which account to bill. We will also need to meet and firm committees to establish procedures for procurement, storage, and production of the coffee as well as formal job duties and probably a liability waver if the coffee is to hot. So we will need to meet with legal as well.
