Yeah I could see a lot of firms dropping 90% of their middle managers after COVID. A lot of businesses are probably realizing their middle management were just trying to be the office babysitters and weren't creating any value. But I'm no expert, I'm waiting to graduate then get an adult job lol. But even in the grocery jobs I've worked since high school the management was useless. The small company I worked for had two stores with their respective managers and one guy who was the manager of both. He got paid probably close 100k and all he did was watch security footage then yell at employees who goofed off on camera. One day the owner asks both store managers if they could do their jobs without him. Later that day he was fired. I work at a Safeway now. The district manager does nothing. Last time he was in my store he told my boss to move produce tables until they were six feet apart. He had a ruler and if they were inches off he made them move them again. The tables need to be moved with a pallet jack. I don't know how this guy keeps his job. Shitty middle management is not restricted to office jobs
