- lumost 4y agoWhy is IBM special in this regard? Fiefdoms appear in any organization larger than a few dozen people.
- missedthecue 4y agoIBM is a place where people go and rot in a cubicle for 40 years and then retire. Fiefdoms are a natural consequences. Companies like DocuSign have turnover and growth such that it becomes somewhat more difficult to build fiefdoms.
- no_wizard 4y agoThey're everywhere at most companies, sometimes in non obvious ways. For instance, marketing sometimes has its own developer / engineering teams, rather than running their work through the engineering org. Thats an example.
