Not sure if there is any other organization in the world where a VP reports to a VP who reports to a VP. Full picture - SD to SD to VP to VP to VP.

It’s that upper echelon where it gets messy…our Dept is lean below VP, 1 SDR, we had 2 DRs, but it’s now 1, with 40 or so reporting up to them, about 50% of those are ETWs (analyst/mgr/sr mgr)- cutting staff at this level seems pointless to me - you avoid severance but just have to hire & train newbies when E2E dependencies on that team hits the fan and brings WIP to a halt
nike is more bureaucratic than the government
Too many Indians in charge no one from that sh---y country should ever be in charge of US citizens.
All of the VPs in Consumer Insights report into a SVP.
@1vqc, your numbers seem a bit off from reality
also go and check how many DR, SR DR with just no reportees also.
you will find many many. In my definition
manager should have min-5 reportees
sr manager min 15-20
director min 40-50
sr director min 100. then the VP layer should start. Then only it called lean organization.
Sounds like your org has a problem that should be fixed then
Not in this case. SVPs and EVPs are usually called as such.
It’s really a VP reporting to an SVP reporting to an EVP, but we call them all VPs. They’re different grades and were different levels - E7 vs E6 vs E5 etc
