alt Hacker NewsTo semi-quote a higher up at $dayJob, at BigTech, talking to his directors: "If your engineers aren't fungible you're bad at your jobs".
Everyone should just be a small cog in a big machine.

yeah, most large employers think like that.
it remains to be seen if thats going to be the way in ~10 years after the dust has settled.
i suspect those middle managers will try to fight tooth and nail to hold onto that status quo, because it leaves them with all the power.

Fungibility is tangential to the sort of culture shift I'm talking about.
But that's just good management. You can't have your organization struggle because someone gets hit by a bus or quits suddenly.
