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

@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 -
@wycats That is counter to my experience, but if such a thing can exist at all, it's a refutation of your new wycat's law, no? -
@mattknox you've experienced companies with hundreds of people and no management that didn't have defacto cliques and inner circles? -
@wycats no, but I don't mind cliques as much as you seem to. (and incidentally, having managers doesn't keep cliques out, either) -
@mattknox the cliques are the ad hoc informally specified management I was talking about - 3 more replies

@wycats@knowtheory@mattknox why the requirement for omniscient personal understanding? -
@edwardog@knowtheory@mattknox because otherwise you need an informal network of people that communicate up to the people with firing power
