Reducing the number of managers is an interesting decision. I briefly worked at Amazon, and the only way for managers to get promoted is by hiring more people under them. There isn’t any other way to get promoted, which incentivizes managers to grow their teams and sometimes add features that may not make sense. Any opinions from ex-Amazonians?


People have finally realised having non technical managers in charge of highly technical systems is a waste of time. Hook AI up to a Jira board and let the engineers do their thing.

Oh, please no. I'd rather have a non-technical manager.
