Most people are asking that question in Slack DMs and hallway conversations, not in meetings. Meanwhile, companies are asking teams to do more with less, and managers are feeling it first. In this session, Sarah Sheehan, CEO of Bravely,  and Sara Patterson, CPO at Limble, have the conversation out loud. They'll get candid about what is really happening to the middle of the org, how companies are handling it, and what it means for the development and support employees have always relied on their managers to provide.
