Yeah, I've seen middle management get cut faster than ICs at several companies. They're definitely not safe. Executives and upper management? Yeah, they're likely the ones rubbing their hands in glee. You can hear it in interviews with several of them. "These people not wanting to come back to the office or 'quiet quitting' or jumping ship to get paid what they're worth are going to regret doing so when this recession hits." Inside their heads they're probably adding a 'Muahahaha' at the end of that. But I think most middle managers are about as worried about their jobs as ICs are.
