    I mean, I could see them having a few hundred employees total at DocuSign, but holy crap! What do they all do?

    There are infinitely more complex pieces of software out there with less than a tenth of the number of employees.

        No seriously? How many engineers are needed to let people add a signature image to a pdf?

        Not 440

          Can you imagine how many documents need to be properly accessed and backed up for legal reasons. I have used it for damn near anything. School registration, rental, home buying, legal reasons. There have to be so many redundancies for me and I’m a nobody. Now imagine all that for a modest company? And how many exist. I can see a decent amount of employees to facilitate that.

            It’s automated, I don’t see thousands of people in a massive warehouse running around with printed documents filing them in stacks of boxes.

      I’m no fan of these layoffs, but a company like Docusign having over 7k employees is mind blowing to me. They could probably GET BY with 440 employees and then outsourcing customer service entirely.
