Treating ICs differently is something many organizations suck at. I think that's part of why low- and middle- managers get such a bad rap; they should exist to allow treating ICs differently at scale, but in many organizations they are not empowered to do so. This leaves them with a job that is basically to try and repackage shit from above in as palatable way as possible for their DRs.
