It’s hilarious how people are still arguing this when the actions of the tech companies have shown the exact opposite.

Zuck, Pichai, Nadella, etc. all see what the problem is.

Middle managers at FAANG companies see their path to career growth is by increasing the headcount under them.

People hired in roles saw the only way to grow their careers was to become managers.

This led to a completely absurd amount of middle managers, who weren’t really contributing much of anything. Just managing other middle managers.

Zuck made this pretty clear in a previous brief and talked about getting rid of the number of middle managers. Become an IC or leave.
