Recently Twitter, Meta and lot other companies fired a lot of people.Most of the fired employees started posting on LinkedIn for job.On checking the job title, came to know that most were Managers.Now managers in Service based or Product based, are not considered as assets.In-fact in service companies, they are mostly non-billable resources.Indian IT Services companies hardly fires them, because most of these managers salary don't go beyond 25 LPA.And they don't want to get bad press by firing them. Some Indian IT Service companies are known as government job for that reason only.It is not their fault also, because we needed such companies when we made the transition from Socialist economy to Capitalist in 90's.But same cannot be said for American and European Service based companies.In a lot of companies their ratio is 1:10 and which is 1 manager for every 10 coder. And this is a huge number.In service companies, in the 90s and 2000s coding was considered a thing which only Junior developers do.Everybody was in a hurry to become people manager and leave coding. So, they got a huge pool of non-performing managers.I saw manager responsible to check if all laptops are been locked with kingston lock on the floor. And send a mail to senior management, for people not locking there laptop.People Managers are of-course required but not 1:10 ratio. But in 1:100 ratio. To manage small teams, we should have Team Leads who do 70% coding and 30% management.One American/European Service based company facing this problem, tried to implement this in India. They failed badly as they we not able to convince the Managers to learn coding.They finally have to fire most of them, but did over a span of 2 years. Because nobody likes bad press.
