So called flat hierarchies also mean that the ones that have the real power can never be truly challenged. It is like climbing the hill and then cutting the rope to ensure nobody else can do it.

I've seem this a lot in companies adopting agile. That was always a cabal that had all the real power and the benefits than come with it, but suddenly because of "self-organizing", "flat hierarchy", there was no more any more or less formal path for ascending in the organization.

During the first years of the scrum frenzy, the figure of the tech lead almost disappeared in a lot of companies.

That hits really close to home. Literally in a situation right now where promotion is being dangled like a carrot in front of my face without any tangible path to acquire it. Overachiever my ass.
