I wonder if this happens because there isn't enough important work to be handed out, which then results in people fighting over scope.(due to leadership bandwidth being saturated)
Does Alphabet/Google suffer from the same problem? I wonder if the various org mechanisms they have in place allow for ambitious people to channel their energies to build things instead of clawing scope from others.
- dikobraz 9mo agoI haven’t worked at Google, but I doubt they’re immune. Lack of “important work” is one mechanism, but in the case I’m describing the issue was overlapping legitimacy: multiple orgs had good reasons to own the same scope. Hardware felt insecure about ML moving elsewhere, SWE had real product needs, AI/ML wanted centralization.
