This is silly. Product managers are not "brand managers" — a good one is far more technical. Google has never claimed to "invent" 20% time — 3M and a great numb

This is silly. Product managers are not "brand managers" — a good one is far more technical. Google has never claimed to "invent" 20% time — 3M and a great number of other organizations have doubtlessly used something akin to it, but it was hardly heard of in the 2000s. And dual ladders? What? You don't need Dupont for this, of course some companies had technical individuals in the C-suite. Silly post IMHO.
