$165,000 for a chair, a table, wifi, and insurance... is a really outlandish assumption about per-employee costs.

An high quality chair is, say, $500 amortized over 5 years. A table, $100 amortized over 5 years. Open office space (at 65 square feet per employee and $100 per square foot per year) is about $6,500. Insurance is about $7,000 a year per employee - total.

So, under 10% of that extra per-employeee revenue is what the actual costs for those "bonuses".
