I have a great boss: nobody. Our company has a very flat structure, so sure we have product managers that tell me what to do, but in no way are they my boss.

This works better than any other org structure I've been a part of in the past.
- tomashubelbauer 7y agoHow does that work? What happens if you say "no" to them? And who fires who in such structure?
- wcarron 7y agoWell, they said "very flat", not "entirely flat". I'm willing to bet that his/her company does have some supervisory or managerial roles, but very few, with most employees on the same "level", per se.
- WrtCdEvrydy 7y agoNot OP, but at my job, managers are fairly hands off. > What happens if you say "no" to them? It's not adversarial, it's a meeting of the minds to ensure we deliver the best product to our customer. > who fires who in such structure Termination is usually Director-level call, Managers are mostly for other HR items.
- Bootwizard 7y agoThis is exactly how it works at my company. Everyone has equal say in what we ship. Everyone is equally responsible for the quality of the product we make. If you notice an issue, no matter what your job title is, it's your responsibility to bring it up so the correct person can work on and fix it.
