I didn't say that efficiency was bad. I said that efficiency has negative consequences on employment but positive benefits elsewhere (hopefully on prices but sometimes just on corporate profits). The original question was on employment in big companies versus small business and I just pointed out that one of the primary reasons for big companies is efficiency of scale which means fewer people needed to produce the same output. It's a complicated system and there isn't a single right or wrong way to do it.
