I think this would be a better headline. If "middle-skilled" refers to manually moving information across an organization using people, systems, and spreadsheets, then yeah, those jobs are very much the bottom of the iceberg as far as automation goes.
So I guess from that perspective, an employer with many managers who manually manage scheduling/time tracking/etc. could consider deploying an ERM/ERP product and consolidating the org structure an efficiency.
Manager as leader though is harder to consolidate, both during growth ("we're adding resources to your team, you should be happy") and through adding offshore teams without a project manager, cutting down on the bandwidth of the onshore manager.
