Stop scaling headcount. Scale your workspace.
Jason Snell, writing at Macworld, regarding joining the staff at MacUser back in 1993:
But as amazing and revelatory as the Mac was for me as a writer and editor of print and online publications, I rapidly discovered that the Apple of the period was a mess. My first day as a full-time employee, a copy editor popped his head over the cubicle wall and asked me if I had heard anything about layoffs. Welcome to the media, kid.
