I’m having flashbacks to my last meeting with my direct manager and their manager, where the managers manager told me I should be managing myself appropriately because I’m an adult.
When I said, “well we need managers for a reason dont we?”, he replied " I dont know, do you?"
And that was the end of that topic, literally.
I hope Valve somehow has figured how that’s supposed to work, but the lack of communication that causes is so profound at my work, that almost noone knows what they are supposed to be doing or have any idea of what the bigger longer-term picture is.
Thats thr thought I immediately had and I couldn’t figure out what to say, and then the meeting moved on without my reply.
If I’m being extremely generous, maybe he meant it to be inspiring? Like you can do it without a manager! You are great!
I can’t figure out where he’s getting his management ideas from its all over the board. Oh well most of our clients will be gone by this December, and I’ll be gone by then too so its no bother for me anymore.
Edit to clarify: gone as in getting a new job, sorry if that sounded dark

Hah, did you ask each of them if they think they need a manager? Were they intentionally trying to convince you they had no use at the company?
