the problem I have with this is that I'm a lead in a team of 12 engineers + 1 manager + 2 pm. There's too much bloat and everyone knows it, but the moment I make a succinct argument to the effectiveness of our pm, the director of product will jump in and screw the engineering team. anonymous feedback normally isn't the problem when it matters, it's the structure of the org and powers at play.

There's so many troubles with org structures and models of operation. My day job is in this area, in an industry that is criminally inefficient. Any field that sells hours isn't incentivised to be quick about anything.

Signals can have an impact if it's run executive level to all staff. It gives people a voice who can see inefficiency but don't have a forum to talk about it, and move past layers that are trying to preserve their roles / status.
