Ep. 010 – How companies actually work
Update: 2025-07-03
Description
This one’s for the nerds (us). We finally get into… organizational structures. Wait, come back! It’s actually super interesting — promise.
Saoirse breaks down what vertical, horizontal, matrix, and Spotify-style structures even are, while Alba tries to figure out where her future branding empire fits in. We talk through our own workplaces, compare notes on Netflix’s vacation chaos, and play a little game of “Flat or Stacked?” (it’s like Tinder for org charts).
In this episode:
– How startups can go from chaotic to clear (without losing the magic)
– The pros and cons of being the boss (or having one)
– Real-world org charts from Apple, Amazon, John Lewis & more
– Why “two pizza teams” might be the most iconic phrase of the season
– Whether we’d thrive in a massive corporate or a tiny team with big dreams
And no, we still don’t fully understand what a guild is.
