Calling this a study of managers is quite a stretch... it's an arbitrarily designed game theory problem in which some people are labeled "managers" and others "workers" with no real relationship to those titles in the real world.
But yeah, managers can be useful and/or sneaky. They can also be sleepy, hungry, boring, sociopathic and all of the other things humans can be.
