Episode notes

To be successful in an organization, it is important to be known as a person who gets things done. This can lead to more responsibility and career progression. Taking problems off your boss's desk is a sure way to gain their trust. Instead of asking multiple questions when given a task, take the initiative to figure it out on your own. In a busy organization, it is essential to cut through the noise and prioritize tasks to ensure productivity. While playing the game may be necessary at times, the ultimate goal should be to focus on delivering high-quality work and making a meaningful impact.

Jason and Eiso explore the implications of Mark Zuckerberg's plan to flatten Meta's management layers and examine the current ratio of engineers to managers, questioning if this balance is truly efficient or if it's simply a byproduct of Silicon Valley culture.
