OC compares "executives" and "knowledge workers", does not define "manager". Spitballing: Director and above are executives, managers remain knowledge workers.

Spitballing: Director and above are executives, managers remain knowledge workers. -- My observation is that executives at any given publicly traded company are functionally insane. Whatever executive daily activities involve, it's disconnected from real work and real world. They generally have nicer clothes and hygiene. So it's not all bad. The transmutation from Manager to Director is kind of fun to watch. The Body Snatchers meets Battle Royale.
