minus-squareChicoSuave@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoAlways remember to ask a VP “how many people report to you?” If they say none, then they aren’t a VP just sparkling wage slave.
minus-squaresurewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoI had 100 people reporting to me as a VP in a global bank. It’s still nothing. It’s all about relative size. 100 people in a company of 1000? Real VP. 100 people out of 100k? Middle manager.
