"We're planning to flatten the organization, removing up to three layers of management in some functions so leaders are closer to the work" Their MBAs spent the weekend prompting fucking Claude Code didn't they?

@pikesley@mastodon.me.uk To be blunt, for most managed people, their managers & CxOs replacing themselves with Opus & max effort would, with reasonable probability, be a noticable improvement.

@pikesley@mastodon.me.uk Leave out the word "prompting" in that final line and you have it.

@pikesley@mastodon.me.uk I wonder how they have three layers to remove. When I joined a certain very large database vendor as a lowly peon 25 years ago, there were three layers of management between me and the CEO. I think they were rather larger than gitlab!

@pikesley@mastodon.me.uk Some consultancy is getting a cut of the "cost savings" now, while the ramifications manifest months & years later. Poor employee morale. Lost customers. Reputational damage. Financial instability. AI is a net negative.
