The issue is that middle managers are being proven as ineffective and useless. The guy who wanders around the office synergizing everyone now has a spotlight on them, because its been proven over the last few years that people can be efficient and productive without Lundberg stopping by and asking for a progress report. The only part of the industry that has now been proven unnecessary are the ones clawing and fighting to get everyone back into the office.

Jobs': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs Not to say that the people currently doing the middle-management synergizing should be banished from society, but that the job function itself shouldn't exist at all.
- Steltek 4y agoThere are ineffective managers but there are also ineffective ICs. With WFH, there are definitely people trying to do as little as possible. Objectively measuring people's effectiveness at work is hardly a solved problem.
