@tharshan_09 @clairevo I have a clawdads meetup every sat in gymnastics class stands

[claire vo 🖤 @clairevo]

Genuine take: normalize fractional IC roles. I could handily PM 5 products and would probably be made better by exposure to diverse problems & cultures.

How much of anyone’s 40 hours is performative nonsense? With AI I think we’re going to see the rise of gig economy knowledge work either within or between companies. Either engineers working at 5 companies or PMs pinch hitting as marketers on sprints.

The only hard limit on capacity for an individual is waking hours, and with bg agents and the like, even that as a cap is starting to blur.

Now before r/overemployed or whatever starts cheering this on: comp structures would have to change too. No more “if I do my assigned work I should get paid the same no matter how long it takes.” Everything becomes coin op, and the fungibility of talent devalues it.

But at least it’s honest: employees get paid to produce. And employers stop pretending something magic happens at 40-or-whatever hours a week.

This also feels like the natural conclusion of a talent base raised on ZIRP that has loudly insisted on full remote, get-out-of-my-room-MOM distributed operating models.

Will the full remote revolution lead way to the full fractional team?

Why not?

Feeling like you’re on to something is the best feeling in business. Sometimes its short lived and violently snuffed out, other times it pleasantly lasts decades, but however long it goes, it’s always special.

.@farahassir, our new VP design & strategy, is hiring a Product Design Director who will double the size of the @Meetup design team. If you care about doing work that gets people talking to each other instead of looking at screens, come work for her. https://t.co/PK57GtwWOk
