I yesterday sat in a meeting where someone showed for an hour all kinds of organizational charts with acronyms and vague terms, and who could do what and who is the boss of who. The various organizations were there to help employees dealing with European privacy regulations while also publishing data open access when possible. Basically: Which parts of the org can help you to deal with the contradicting government regulations.

I honestly find high pressure work more relaxing than these kinds of meetings.






You get those meetings at Meta as well ... because there are re-orgs multiple times a year and so the org leadership is sent to sell their teams on how this is now the perfect org structure. Until the next one, of course.

There's a famous poster from the Facebook days - don't mistake motion for progress. I always thought they should make one for re-orgs.
