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.
