I've been on small teams where the direct manager was completely clueless about the day-to-day work of his 3 or 4 reports. These are professional meeting attenders, basically. 10+ years ago this seemed much less common in tech. Management was more technical and CEOs would actually talk to the ICs.

I can't say the same about my own a decade ago. it was due to the employer I was with at the time. they valued "attendance" and "billable hours" way more than quality or even meeting deadlines, let alone talking tech execution with a product manager
