Meta to Ask Many Managers to Become Individual Contributors or Leave

I also never saw this until pretty recently. At first I assumed people were talking about independent contractors because it was the first thing that came to mind, it possibly fit the context I saw the term used in and nobody explained the acronym they just dropped it there like I was supposed to know what it meant.

Took a bit longer to realize they meant individual contributor.

And it sounds better than "assembly line worker."

Mine was "integrated circuit" which was like a really dystopian version of "human resources".
