Any sufficiently complicated company w/o management contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of management

@wycats I don't think so, no. As I understand it, there aren't people who always manage, but rather one's role varies by project. -
@mattknox I think you may be mistaken. How do you suspect information flows to people with hiring and firing power? -
-
@knowtheory@mattknox if someone has firing power, either they personally understand what every employee does or there is management. QED -
@wycats@knowtheory It seems that you conflate communication and management. I can let X know that Y is doing well without a manager. -
@mattknox@knowtheory if X has firing power and trusts you but not Y, you have informal management. -
@wycats You don't think there is a meaningful difference between a company that has people who coordinate fulltime and one that doesn't? -
@mattknox I think the one that doesn't, at a certain size, is demonstrably worse - 7 more replies
