Matrix Management Model

The Shitshow loves to Re-org itself about every 6 weeks but one of the things that never changes with the business model is the Matrix Management Style.

For those of you who don't know what this is, see the below excerpt from Wikipedia, "Matrix Management is a type of organizational management in which people with similar skills are pooled for work assignments. For example, all engineers may be in one engineering department and report to an engineering manager, but these same engineers may be assigned to different projects and report to a project manager while working on that project. Therefore, each engineer may have to work under several managers to get their job done."

Apparently, this style of management used to be really popular in the 1980s but nearly all companies have abandoned it for more efficient management models.....apparently the Shitshow missed that memo! So modern day companies like General Electric, Microsoft, etc all abandoned this model because, in their own words, "it literally doubled the amount of managers in the company and reduced accountability". Wow, does that sound familiar to anyone who works at Shitshow? There are about 3 managers for every engineer who does real actual work.

Well, I guess they call it the Shitshow for a reason. Without the Matrix Management Model, what would all these process oriented functional managers do all day? Who would run the countless department meetings that waste people's time?

Because there are more managers at the Shitshow than people who do work, I throw rocks.
