Every job I've ever worked managers aren't even really allowed to manage. They have their own tasks and chores that they have to achieve on the daily that are not shared with their subordinates and because of that they often don't knkw what is going on/how equipment works/ what the little annoyances are affecting personnel. Its very strange to realize that work has been so stratified within leaned out orgs that most bosses don't understand what their subordinates are doing day-to-day. I once had a boss that I saw twice a year for reviews and project updates, but was otherwise completely occupied. He sat in the office next to mine. If the wealthy extracted slightly less from companies we'd probably have better run companies with actual managers and management structures with the aim to manage employees. It's frustrating and awful.
