> Engineers should not have managers.
I think nobody should have managers, but your examples were so confidently wrong that it's hard to agree with your whole statement. I am on the opinion that any work, no matter whether "high-skilled" or not, doesn't need managers, unless that's just an euphemism for more senior employees that also do the work.
- n4r9 1y agoI looked at your first two links and it's not really clear whether those roles would be line-managing doctors or lawyers.
- ycombinatrix 1y agoThe managers listed in those open positions are administrative. Doctors don't report to them. Doctors report to another doctor. The dean & chairperson at your university are not line managers. They are not in the classrooms with teaching professors. They are not in the labs with research professors. Having someone be in charge of you is not the same as having a line manager. Line managers are down in the trenches with the employees, unlike most of your examples.
