An internal censuses during the first dotcom times asked all employees to identify themselves as either individual contributors or a manager and the CEO reported there were far more individual contributors than was possible. Most managers considered their primary work to be as an individual contributor.. Few self identified as bureaucrats..
- watwut 6y agoMost managers in these companies don't manage people. It is title slapped on roles to make them sound glorious for future cv purpose. They don't have team they would directed. I was manager for project of exactly one person, me, that took 4 months and most time I spent coding some with analysis. I mean, we have office manager and she is mostly making sure we have enough print paper and such. In old times, she would be administration.
