I find it hard to believe a matured company, rife with middle management, wouldn't have held those people "mailing it in," so to speak, accountable years ago.

I find it hard to believe a matured company, rife with middle management, wouldn't have held those people "mailing it in," so to speak, accountable years ago. Whether they work onsite or remotely, some work is turned in. A handful may fall through the cracks, but it's just that, a handful. Not 30,000, even in a company much bigger.
- rqebmm 11y agowhat if the middle managers are phoning it in?
- raincom 11y agoMany at Cisco do:) But they are managing people, mananging some cost centers, etc. They are contributing in a way, but not for the next $X Billion innovation.
- mahyarm 11y agoYou find out that large companies start reflecting some of the 'evils of government' eventually. I've realized it comes more from large bureaucracies than something fundamental to government. These people who phone it in still do their jobs, but they aren't hard workers, they are not active in the technical environment so much. They're static workers, working on projects that might be not so necessary any more, but ignored by the business because it's part of a profitable unit. Such as printers and so on.
