That was meant to be a joke. I don't have a clue how many employees they have. Although, employees are very expensive. The cost of an employee could be around $80,000 annually with unemployment compensation, insurance, health benefits, social security, etc... We know that the cost of Steemit Inc is around 2 million total. Given that number, one could easily find the max number of employees is 25. We know that it could not be that high since Steemit Inc needs money to pay for their office and for their nodes.
