- hn_throwaway_99 4y agoYikes, I did read it wrong! OK, that would be insane, but I'm still curious if (a) that's not a pretty gross exaggeration or (b) if there some sort of job titling that's making the ratios look weird, e.g. "product manager" doesn't actually manage any people, or the way everyone who works in a bank is a "VP".
- jiveturkey 4y agoobvious hyperbole, for the sake of his audience
- chasd00 4y ago"manager" can be subjective. You could claim a non-junior dev with a couple junior dev reporting to them and being mentored is a "manager".
- dbish 4y agoThat’s not subjective. That is a manager. If someone reports to you and you are responsible for them, you’re their manager, regardless of job title. Subjective is if he’s counting program/product managers, account managers, etc.
