minus-squarearglebargle@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 months agoYes. Valve is a flat structure company. There are positives and negatives to this. Look at valves wiki page for their specific structure and more information.
minus-squarePasserby6497@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·11 months agoManagers can be fine, but middle managers are generally worthless IME. Not much value added by having someone manage the people that actually manage the people for a C level, too much abstraction just drives crushing corporate culture.
