After testing AI for a bit, it mostly seems to be peak bullshitting, where everything’s sourced by Trust-me-bro even if said otherwise. Rank and file workers would never get away with that.
A good middle manager is worth their weight in gold. There’s nothing like working on a job where everyone’s roles mesh together perfectly. Where pertinent information flows down efficiently, and where minor problems are crushed ruthlessly before they can grow into major ones.
Unfortunately, most middle management are not that good. Others are stymied by not being given enough autonomy to actually do their jobs well.
A poor manager is as welcome as a muck spreader at a garden wedding. The best thing you can do is try and keep them away from anything important, and contain the stink.
Tbh, my boss does work, even more than i do and i do overtime everyday (its paid in money or free days so its cool) and his boss is the company owner that is pretty much working 24/7 or at least at disposal every day every hour.
I don’t think AI can replace such people, especially because we work with sensitive data.

Just make an LLM write daily pissy emails about why everything is taking so long. BAM! Half of middle management replaced.

Absolutely.

I’ve never had a boss who doesn’t work more than I do. This is one of the reasons I have no desire to move into management.
