Managers are just MBA. Can not switch to IC.

Just cut off managers! And cut off program managers. They are cancer.

Good. I am too important to be 8 levels down. I deserve 3 or 4. 7 or 8 is for AMD employees.

You can’t switch a manager back to an IC and expect them to be successful. That’s like switching an Oligarch back to the factory floor. Good luck with that!

Yes, should flatten from the top. The top 3 levels of managements are useless and are destroying the company.

@a2 If Intel history repeats, they'll be changed to ICs but keep their grade level. Some will be laid off for optics, but most will continue to collect the same salary.

Yes, they have moved middle management out of the way so now the org is more flatulent.

But OP is still gonna be laid off, along with all the other low level employees.

They are not needed, due to the middle managers becoming individual contributors.

See, heads you lose, tails they win.

Grove used to say if you were more than 6 levels, you had too many layers.

Cut off 2 levels of managers? Which 2 levels? Hope it is the top 2 levels to be cut as they are useless.

Not flat enough. 4 levels is the max. So now we know Intel will fail. Thanks for the information.

Meaning every level 7 and 8 managers go? Like shift GLs? What about engineering managers?
