Their entire job function could've probably been replaced by a wiki or Google Doc. I'm an Engineering Manager these days and I suspect this is true to an extent for my role. All I seem to do is relay information from one group to another, translate from one jargon to a different jargon, figure out who to talk to in order to get someone to be able to push a button, and, more often than I'd like, sit in meetings and remember things when someone else has forgotten. If my teams and the teams they work with wrote things down in discoverable and organized ways I would be out of a job. However, due to the fact my teams are made up of fallible, disorganized, and very human people, my job seems pretty safe, and I get a great deal of satisfaction from knowing I help a lot of people get a lot more done than if I wasn't around.
