My direct supervisor has 75 direct reports. (Not a tech company––an elite private school in the Bay––but still...)

Education is a completely different animal. You’re not comparing apples to oranges here, you’re comparing leptons to gorillas.

I’m good friends with one of the high school teachers at “an elite private school in the Bay” (HRS) and it’s fun comparing and contrasting our jobs, but they are not at all the same job.

Fuck that. Nobody is being served by that arrangement. Nobody.

Short term capital returns are!

Which is to say, everyone who matters

[zerocount]

I would, because I wouldn't be bothered by a useless manager running around calling meetings and doing other useless activites.

They're saving a bunch of money just having one useless person.

[ashtonkem]

Managers aren’t inherently useless; just the ones you’ve had.

I don't know, I think that's pretty normal in education? For example, you have a large number of teachers that report up to the head of middle school or something?
