Скачать или смотреть EP 06: The Rise and Fall of the Professional Managerial Class in Tech Companies

This week on The Adam Jackson Show, I go into what the PMC or "Laptop Class" is, how it grew, how VCs are unfairly blaming it, the toll it takes on companies, and how to avoid it altogether. I also touch on the PMC's vulnerability to layoffs when the economy pulls back, and why people talking about it are missing the point on who is to blame.
