One thing you will eventually find out is there is a good portion of the company who thinks they are an effective employee when they really aren’t. For example I work in Software and Hardware development. In 25 years I’ve worked in large companies and small, big teams, small teams and teams of one. I’ve had many project managers and in almost all cases they have ranged from bad to pointless. The well oiled teams found the project managers only got in the way and provided no ROI to their work. So much so that in one org the PM left and they never replaced them which resulted in the teams highest productive quarters two years running.

If we were to vote I’d ask for justification for those roles and what their returns are. What actual added benefit did they bring and what problems did they cause. The issue i foresee is that every single one of them would say they were very valuable and important. But if you asked the people under them doing the actual development you’d hear the exact opposite. With the pandemic and everyone working remotely you’d think their role would become even more important but a lot of places have shown that haven’t.
