There are also a lot of people with inflated titles for the little scope they manage. Directors reporting to directors and VP reporting to VPs. People get promoted for doing the same job as a life time achievement award as opposed to having business need and scope. A lot of unnecessary cost for paying inflated individuals.

All companies have different leveling... titles... etc. google senior directors are the equivalent role of a salesforce svp. Facebook directors = salesforce vp+. To keep a job at salesforce for a lifetime, you have to consistently perform... obviously that maxes out at some point... But experience gives you institutional knowledge and existing relationships that grow your influence, and that’s what you’re paying for... not just doers. If busy work and quantity trumps impactful work And quality... you’re in trouble.
Maria Martinez went to Cisco and turned that entire organization into the gutter lol... she is EVP there now but most likely is getting cut per my sources
You see this when SVPs head off to competitors, and join as directors
