> Google had lost some (4%) employees in 2023, but has grown back to 2022 size last year. Meta shrunk by 22% in 2023, but has been growing in size since then and is probably back to 2022 size right now.

Google's revenue in 2022 was $282 billion, in 2025 it was $402 billion (43% growth).

Meta's revenue in 2022 was $117 billion, in 2025 it was $201 billion (72% growth).

Surging profits paired with flat employment continues the concentration of wealth.

> You know who is steadily shrinking, though? Intel. Wild, eh?

Intel's revenue is falling ($63 billion in 2022 vs $52 billion in 2025), makes sense that they would trim headcount.
