We do need motivation from good managers, which can only be effective after the C-suite stops kneecapping the "safety" hierarchy near the bottom. You can't talk about Maslows Heirarchy and how "[middle managers] are the ones best positioned to both understand the needs of individuals and motivate those individuals based on that understanding" without spending a LOT more time acknowledging that middle managers can't do shit in the face of corporate leadership across the entire industry behaving like erratic parents that are traumatizing the masses. We have witnessed nearly all the companies we all work for go on huge hiring and then firing sprees. It's like giving someone a house and then burning down 1/4 of it to save money. Sure there's less upkeep, but did you folks really think no one might find that a little... traumatic?
