I really struggle with this sentiment because I often agree with it, specifically at large companies. At Google product managers became the worst aspect of the entire company. They spent their time arbitraging credit, cutting off communications between builders and executives, and generally appearing for a while, not taking ownership, then leaving after they fucked up the roadmap so badly they couldn’t fix it. They became the worst kind of leech on the company. But then in starting my own company, PMs who need to own, execute, and deliver on a triads goals has become invaluable. It shortens communication pathways and distributes responsibility. So I dunno I’m at a loss.
