If you want a flatter org structure, it seems like it would be easier to achieve this if manager/IC roles were distinct. If a manager is also writing code, then they won't have the time to manage as many other employees, and the total number of managers/layers would need to increase.
- 0xB31B1B 4y agoyea, I don't think the manager/IC thing is a point of leverage TBH. I think the real issue here is that you have senior managers that manage 4 ICS and 1 manager of a 6 person team, and that manager should just report to a director and the senior manager should be retitled "manager" and manage 8 ICs instead of 4.
- itsdrewmiller 4y agoThey might be pushing hybrid manager/coders to move back to full IC / tech lead type roles, while keeping the dedicated managers with bigger spans of control. That would have the effect they want, anyway.
