Who are the people saying stop wfh? Who are the people who have fought to have a bunch of people under them? Who are the people who lose if they don't have stacks of people to organise and watch over. They are the same people afaics
- ThrowawayR2 3y agoIf these middle managers who want "stacks of people to organise and watch over" had any real power, they would have flexed their muscles to prevent layoffs in the first place. When it comes time to trim the fat, executive management isn't going to take any backtalk from mere middle managers trying to build empires.
- chadcmulligan 3y agoIsn't it all the way up though? The VP's don't want to lose head count either, thats how they measure their empire.
- ThrowawayR2 3y agoHigh level management at FAANGs (aside from cost centers) are rewarded for their organization being profitable or on a quick trajectory to becoming profitable, not the size of their empire, mate. They will mercilessly cut headcount without losing a second of sleep to stay on the right side of profitability, particularly when times are tough.
- red-iron-pine 3y agotheir empire is measured in budgets and bonuses; headcount is often tangential to that
