They won't have a "smeagull" role, and a "john" role, etc. If you're a dev in a dev shop, the "dev role" could cover a sizeable number of people. In my company's case, they do have roles. The "accountant" role has like 60 people. They're all doing mostly the same thing, so it wouldn't make sense to have 60 accountant1..60 roles.
