This place is such a joke! They continue with the nonsense of making certain teams come into the office and they need people to cover when someone calls in or doesn’t show up! You have Directors and Managers that have no clue what they are doing. But if you are a favorite it’s ok let’s put the burden on someone else. When are they finally going to wake up and get rid of some of these people. Be a people manager for once and all. Why does HR allow this?

Yes. Now they have more layers, and more management headcount at each layer. It wasn't like that, and it is going against the entire industry's trend of flattened org structure. Oh, they have now many Chief Officers.
@4w5
Why did they change the titles? To help with retention?
@40g Correct.
Have they changed the job titles at Fannie? When I was there 10+ years ago they didn't have Senior Manager, Senior Director, etc. Based on LinkedIn, it seems there are way more people with the Manager and Director title now.
Same here. The senior managers above my immediate supervisors lack the necessary knowledge, yet continue to receive their salaries. It would be entirely appropriate to consider releasing them and hiring competent individual contributors in their place. They were promoted for speaking confidently without substance, endorsed by equally uninformed individuals who nonetheless believe they’re competent.
@OP software industry has moved away from bureaucratic hierarchy. They have been replaced with more doers. Fannie is still living in stone age. It seems the shift is inevitable.
@OP many layers of and a huge # of middle managers are a classic indicator of bureaucracy. Not fixed yet.
@ff The more you speak, the more you prove my point.
@fc hey.. is your name Srinivas with sh---y last name? .. like 100+ mo--ns in the company... your were born out of waste.
@fc stop looking at the mirror and talking to yourself. face the reality. Your day is near. You will be fired very soon !
@fa Bill is after waste and fraud. Dictionary definition of what you are. I am surprised you even got hired by the company.
@f7 Friday is not over yet.. they are coming for you. Disconnect your phone and hide under the table. That way I can find who you are.
@OP isn’t it company of clowns. I guess you are praying to keep your job. God bless you !
@en 200 years? Do your homework clown. And how does that correlate or imply anything that we are talking about? With such analytical skills, I am surprised they didn't fire you long time ago.
@OP will email pulte to remind him.
@e4 you also didn’t had tariffs for 200 years. Things have changed. Wait and watch. Defacto my foot.
@c0 what do you mean not sustainable? It's been like that for years. It's obviously sustainable and defacto standard.
@OP it will happen sooner or later. Having so many managers, directors and vps is not sustainable.
Why did you skip VPs? We have about 7 million of them.
