You either have minimum 5 direct reports or none in the new org. For example, if you have 3, and you are still working in the company, you are either getting more or losing them all.

I hope all the L10s without directs and doing the work of a L6-7 are re-leveled. They won’t be because some are DEI promos.
@b3 not buying this. You can have a team of people without all of them being direct reports.
I am a manager (not a director) that went from 2 to 5 direct reports, other managers now have no direct reports and no new responsibilities.
So basically every level or l10, l11, l9. Do everyone need to have reported than who is going to work.
Also do Contractors count or only FTE.
Directors have to have 5 reports. If they do not, they either get more or lose them all and are re-leveled.
We would do better if stop listening to McKinsey, BCG. Bain, Accentures of the world. All these management consultants do is give advisory service to Sr. Leadership with half baked assumptions and gut feel and their gut leads to the rut
@as there will be directors with no direct reports. Either 5 or more, or none. They are aiming to minimize the layers in the reporting line.
I find this hard to believe. In many corporate structures teams are way smaller. You easily get L10/L11 with no reports.
I have not heard this. I report into a small team and have not heard the structure is changing at all.
I think it's minimum 5 or you're out.
@a9 the janitor is already outsourced. What company employs cleaning staff full time?
Yeah this is completely wrong.
Janitor reading this like, “So am I getting five direct reports or getting outsourced?”
@OP that’s completely wrong
