  • IMHO, the biggest problem with outsourcing is the distance and time gap. There isn’t enough overlap to help people get unblocked in the middle of the day. So they either make stupid assumptions and plow ahead, or freeze up and slow down.

  • It’s what happens when you get your news in parts of the country where Fox and Sinclair own the airwaves. They make immigrants and democrats seem terrifying.

  • I don’t know why we don’t just peg minimum wage to inflation or county cost of living metrics. Fighting over this every few years is dumb.

  • Honestly, the AI information might be better than most of the dog shit insights people post on that platform.

  • Kamala Harris' viral interview appearances are really pissing off legacy media

    Jump

  • Harris knows that swing voters are not listening to NPR. They’re listening to the stuff at the top of Spotify and Apple’s podcast lists.

    Trump also knows this, and he’s been doing it longer than Harris has been.

  • Two of his largest businesses depend on the US government being friendly to him. Space X and Telsa. The grift is in plain sight. “Please keep buying my rockets, and please don’t make life hard for EV manufacturers.”

  • Amazon Layoffs: Tech Firm To Cut 14,000 Manager Positions By 2025, Says Report

  • K.

    All I can say is that for many of us in people management here,

    a) we could’ve paid our mortgage just as comparably on an IC track, and we do this job because we enjoy working with people and roadmap strategy, and

    b) I don’t care whether you’re building a fintech bro trading app, public housing in the USSR, or are conducting an orchestra. You get enough people in one place trying to achieve a shared goal, and you need people to manage the people. Otherwise the work becomes messy and miserable.

  • I say this as someone who has worked for small companies, large companies, NGOs, and non-hierarchical collectives.

    When you start working on something that is complex, and has a lot of moving parts, you need conductors. If you’ve got a better real-world example of an organizational model that works, I’m all ears.

    Even in Leninist Russia, workplace structures had people managers in place to facilitate planning and to ensure that a team was aligned and set up to successfully accomplish a goal.

    I’ve only ever seen one org structure that didn’t need some sort of people facilitation layer. And that was a tiny commune that a buddy of mine lived on. And everyone knew each other for years before they established said commune.

  • A lot of us here work in software. Often times there are two tracks, IC and people management. Often times both of those tracks pay similarly.

    The good people managers and directors are usually folk that were identified as being good at mentoring people and good at providing air cover so people could do good work.

    I’m sorry you’ve never worked at a place with good middle management. It does exist in many places, and many people selected it because they like working with the people and the strategy more than the product directly. Often times these people could’ve been paid comparably by working as a staff or principal track engineer or experience designer.
