Has anyone in the history of capitalism ever identified themselves as "middle management"?
I think most people associate the term middle management with the guy immediately above them.
Honestly, a lot of this resembles the "If only the Tsar knew!" mentality in old, imperial Russia.
- nickelcitymario 3y agoI identify as middle management, for what it's worth.
- dangerwill 3y agoThis isn't a vague term, it means people who manage managers, but who aren't the very top level. You'd have to be pretty delusional to be actively managing a group of managers/teams and not realize you are middle management.
- nickelcitymario 3y agoInteresting... I always thought the term meant any manager who isn't at the absolute top. If that's the case, maybe I'm not middle management anymore.
- snowwrestler 3y agoYou’re not alone, tons of people think the way you do. Any time the topic turns to “middle management” here on HN, there are developers complaining about their managers. But someone directly managing a dev team would not satisfy the definition above.
