Generalists are also often in danger of RIFs and layoffs, because for any task X a company values at time T, there's always an employee Q who can do X better than generalist G.
But on the flip side, they seem to be able to bounce back better than specialists.
- felixgallo 8y agoIt's the other way around; if you have specialist X and Y, and generalist Z, companies tend to get rid of X and Y and consolidate functions with Z.
