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

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.

replace people with computers and you don't need as many 'managers' for the people that are left.

You aren't going to win against AI so don't try to fight it. You need to learn to work with it as ultimately it replaces the soleless parts of your job.

Listen here guys. I know you don't want to believe it, but AI will impact 80% of all jobs on the planet in the next 10 years. We are well and truly fucked. The haves will have everything, and we will be left fighting over garbage to eat. It's going to be like that movie Elysium, but without the space ships and cool medical technology.
