Next up: "Poll: How many people consider switching to Valve organization?"
- RegEx 14y agoCue the Agile coaches switching over to teaching "Valve". "Refinery" meetings are held in a format called the "Engine room".
- kabdib 14y agoAnd they're all going to say, "We're just like Valve's flat organization, except here we do it a little differently because we have managers, and a CEO and a few VPs, and ..." (A cow-orker of mine went to Valve last year; he's incredibly, insufferably happy).
- wpietri 14y agoAnd after that, you'll see the inevitable HN posts about how the "Valve" adoption at their company didn't work, which proves the whole idea was bankrupt to begin with, and probably a conspiracy to increase book sales, consulting rates, and the amount of underpants collected by the gnomes.

- scrod 14y agoThey would never do this because only a manager would hire someone like an "Agile coach". A fully flat organization has no managers, hence, the hired consultant would be forced to advocate for the dismissal of his own client.
