While this may lead to a short term increase in unemployment if there is a massive shift from middle managers to a technology layer, it will increase efficiency, and hopefully, job satisfaction. Less middle managers to wonder what value they really add (often very little), and less employees asking the same question (and thinking they are smarter/more qualified than their boss).
- bonaldi 12y agoExcept the workers will be even more commoditised and have their wages driven to a minimum, leading to lower satisfaction. And the middle-managers losing their jobs will accelerate the destruction of the middle classes, whose spending is what keeps the economy motoring. Not sure where that plays out, short of either guaranteed incomes or new-feudalism
