Just going to raise an eyebrow at the company’s assertion that people with the titles “senior manager” and “senior editor” aren’t in managerial positions. They’re either being disingenuous or have some serious title inflation going on there.
- sb8244 8y agoYou can be an IC managing a process and not manage people. Sometimes these roles a process managers and not they don't manage people directly.
- ganoushoreilly 8y agoI know a lot of places put Senior as just a way of differentiating from Tier 1,2,3 positions etc. Doesn't always mean they're managers. It's also like how the title VP is used these days in finance.
- shados 8y agoWait until you learn how titles work in big financial firms and how everyone with enough experience is a VP.
- bendbro 8y agoI have worked at companies with “managers” who have no direct reports, but rather gain prioritization for whatever project they are assigned from other “team managers” who have direct reports. To my knowledge this structure is reasonable.
- anoncake 8y agoEither theyre being disingenuous by saying their senior managers arent managers or theyre being disingenuous by calling employees that arent managers managers.
