That has less than 0 to do with how many tables a company sells.

If you can buy a table making machine and lay off 100% of your table makers, you could sell 3x as many tables, and have 20x as much profit.

That may be. The point remains - revenue and amount of work are not necessarily directly correlated. It's not uncommon for a business that's struggling to increase prices to boost revenue short-term, but screw themselves long-term.
