TLDR: Middle managers are scum. “If you disagree you are part of the problem”. Remote work makes it harder to satisfy their need to control you. And that’s why corporations want you back in the office.
Am I missing anything?
- maliker 5y agoI agree. I read: "Middle managers are often graded on the work of their team, which means that they are actively incentivized to steal work and do little of their own." Seems like they would be incentivized to help their team perform and keep them happy (so they don't quit). I image this person would learn a lot from being a middle manager.
- yunohn 5y agoYou mention a best case scenario for middle management, while the article discusses a more worst case one. As always, reality is someone in between. Though in my experience, there’s usually more toxic middle managers.
