> The fact that Pixel was in another division was always weird
Was there a mechanism to communicate this weirdness to decision-makers? In a company that is in control of all of its teams, what is stopping a faster reorg?
Yes this was a well understood phenomenon. These sorts of things grow slowly over time though, and the orgs are large, so understandable why it took a while.
- moats
- "if we do this, XYZ is going to leave"
- weak leadership
- comfort zone
- too many managers risking being spotted as obviously redundant as a result of a reorg :)
What else?
