Things might get done, but would they be the things that the company's upper management and investors want done?

- 5350-uiop-1130 1y agoyes, why not. remove upper management too. problem solved.
- rwmj 1y agoEngineers should be talking with customers at least some of the time, so that part is covered. There is the strategy side of things which you won't get from talking to customers, but I've seen many cases where senior management make absolutely terrible (and obviously terrible, not only with hindsight) strategic messes, so I'm not totally convinced that senior management are necessary for this part either. Senior management do usually have a better overall picture - eg. that some product is losing money and some other product is growing rapidly - but that's usually because detailed revenue numbers are hidden from everyone below the C-suite.
