The Post-Pandemic Middle Manager Cull

The article discusses a significant decrease in middle management positions across numerous US companies. This trend, spurred by the increased reliance on remote work and video conferencing following the pandemic, is evidenced by mass layoffs and a sharp decline in middle-management job postings. While some companies are already experiencing negative consequences from this reduction, the author presents it as a current trend in hiring dynamics rather than a definitive judgment on the value of middle managers. The author notes that the long-term effects remain uncertain. This article is also available in English on my Medium page, «The great post-pandemic middle-manager cull«
