One alternative is an opaque hierarchy where it is difficult to find the goals or team missions documented anywhere.
It lets senior management avoid uncomfortable conversations about power relations while also creating a lack of clarity for individual contributors about what their subteam’s mission even is.

- jonathankoren 5y agoI literally had a interview with a company that insisted on ICs not having levels, while having levels for management. The director was wrapping up and said that the company took growth seriously and specifically mentioned promotions as a reward, to which I immediately pointed out that doesn’t exist for ICs. He then stammered some claptrap about ICs need to find warm fuzzies for themselves, and not worry about recognition. Lolz
