Middle managers face layoffs as companies streamline. Big tech sets trends.

Sharing is Caring!

Middle managers are in a tough spot right now.

They’ve been a target for layoffs as companies look to lean out their organizations, but that doesn’t look like it’s changing (in the short term).

The reduction of middle managers has been a theme of the last 2 years so there are less decision makers between the CEO and your individual contributors.

This will allow them to move faster to focus on shipping products vs bureaucracy getting in the way to become more efficient.

When it comes to tech, it’s a “copycat league”. Other companies follow what big tech does.

• Big tech fires March of 2020, so does everyone else
• Big tech goes full remote, so does everyone else
• Big tech hires Spring 2020-2022 1H, so does everyone else.
• Big tech calls for RTO mandates, so does everyone else
• Big tech starts to lay people off, so does everyone else

So as big tech reduces middle managers…does everyone else follow?
