This is a very naive take. I'm guessing you haven't spent much time in large organizations with multiple levels of management where politics, synthetic KPIs and incentives are completely misaligned with What's the best for the organisation.

Not necessarily. I have spent nearly four decades with a good portion of that working for very large orgs. Those politics, KPIs, and incentives are not always misaligned with what is best for the organization, but may be misaligned with what some people lower in the org think is what’s best for the organization.

You know what you think you know, but you don’t know what you don’t know.

Middle management are focused on building their own personal power pyramids, and damned the cost to the organization.

Articles like this are just the effect of a parasite class buying off 2nd rate "news" outlets to postpone their demise.

But the status-quo is gone, and it's a positive delight to be able to tell these jumped up flunkies that they are redundant.
