    We’ve been working for different types of companies then, because I’m going to have to agree with the other guy on payroll usually being the biggest. Definitely so for office type work, probably less so for industrial work where you need to buy a bunch of input goods.

      Yep, no idea which is which. Maybe everyone’s software scammers at this point, couldn’t tell you. Seemed a little me-centric to assume that was the case, but could be. 🤷

      Most produced products seem like production labor is very low cost (they outsource to somewhere to have “very grateful” five year olds do it) and the majority of the “in-house” labor is things like sales and marketing (which aren’t even usually in-house which is why I put it in scare-quotes). But all of this is admittedly anecdata.
