A LinkedIn Rant

Spare me, bruh.

Most of these “specialist” roles are just catch-all gigs with a fancy title to hide the mess.

That superstar Marketing Manager you’re desperate for? That’s a generalist.

Real managers manage people and expectations. If they’re wasting hours in Canva, your strategy is already in hell.

And that web designer who also writes backend code?

That isn’t a specialist. That’s a human doing two jobs while you pay for one. Designers design; developers code. It’s not quantum physics.

So let’s translate “over-indexed” into English.

You aren’t drowning in generalists. You’re just annoyed that folks finally realized they deserve to be paid for the three different roles you shoved into a single job description.
