I wonder how often that middle manager looks back and regrets the move. Or how often he/she doesn't.
It might be the reality that those people in society who ruin 9/10 lives are amorally oblivious, and stay that way through long, comfortable lives of their own.

And by definition they’re sandwitched in a hierarchy, that can be a hell of its own. I’d argue the health of our society could come from healthier life for these corporate workers.
- lazulicurio 8y agoI don't know if you've seen The Gervais Principle[1] before. It's a cynical but interesting way to think about some of the amoral behavior you see in corporations. It touches on how middle management gets stuck with the short end of the stick between upper-level management and lower-level employees. I'm not really sure how you could change the incentives to make things better for mid-level employees.
