"Number of people managed" seems like a wholly awful metric.

Can't we judge people by results?

[maxerickson]

I'm not judging anyone, I'm asking if a conclusion is informed by a specific type of information.

There's perhaps some phrasing problems with the question, but I think if you are talking about managers being a useless component in organizations it might be good to have >0 years cumulative experience managing people.

Where did I say that managers were "a useless component in organizations"?

[maxerickson]

You're right, that's probably not a fair summary.

Maybe go ahead and write a more fair one (I think you can probably see well enough what I'm getting at) and address that?
