Have you seen any example of horizontal / flat organisation where it does work?

Yes but I think it depends on the size of the organisation too.

I guess it depends on your definition of flat organizations.

Someone I know worked for a company for 10 years. When they started, they had 4 levels between their frontline role and the ceo. 5 years later, it was 12 levels between them and the CEO. Towards the later end of their tenure, they were back to 4 levels.

Hmmm i think this might be the first time I’ve heard this term. I think my prior job was fairly flat. There were only about 4 levels between me and the CEO. Things were operating fairly smoothly work-wise, but there were a lot of HR-type issues that did not get enough attention.

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...
