‘Flat’ company structures rarely work, but some firms aim for middle ground
I&#x27;m sorry but this just sounds like some propaganda piece. First it talks about Valve&#x27;s &quot;issues with diversity&quot; without establishing a clear link between the flat structure and that. Then the article tries to apply guilt by association, by basically saying &quot;Theranos was bad, so flat structures are bad&quot;.
It also implies a company being diverse is a mandatory thing, and non-diverse firms are somehow inherently bad or non-desirable.<p>In the end, I don&#x27;t really see any real arguments against flat hierarchies in the article, it&#x27;s basically a propaganda piece made to convince those who don&#x27;t read beyond buzzwords.
