When I was at (then) Facebook, this was mostly the case, but we also ran data centers with a hundred thousands of servers off a dozen local techs.

Facebook (and Google as well, IIRC) prided themselves on how few people they needed to run the datacenter.

Maybe I'm jaded but "we created 50 jobs" just doesn't hit that hard.

I mean it’s a warehouse sized building, unless you’re doing a call center boiler room in there how many more jobs you’d expect?
