Amazon CEO says he’s cutting middle managers because they want to ‘put their fingerprint on everything.’ That’s music to the ears of Gen Z

Layoffs are sweeping corporate America, and many middle managers are trying to keep their heads above water juggling new responsibilities. It’s slowing internal processes down and stretching supervisors thin. So Amazon’s Andy Jassy is putting more power in the hands of employees doing the work, instead of those with sign-off powers.

You all assume all managers oversee union employees. There is life outside the CBA.

Managers that don’t are just as worthless or even more so, that do.

This is funny. I'm a manager at Frontier who does the job of about 3 people. I get in the trenches and roll up my sleeves to help my employees. Yet I am being criticized and threatened with job loss for not micromanaging

There are no managers doing the job of 3 people. How can that be when they barely know their job. I think many managers should consider themselves fortunate they have people they are supposedly “managing” that advise them on got to do their job. Still. Best case scenario. You have managers that maybe do half of what they are supposed to. But they sure are good at sending emails and making those conference calls pretending they know.

I could bring up “engineering” department's. But we all know their job knowledge and competency is like asking someone read Shakespeare that is barely understanding the alphabet.

I’m not convinced by your post for several reasons. First, being Frontier doesn’t have a managers that actually know how to do the job. They got rid of all the managers that actually worked outside previously as to not threaten the higher ups complete lack of knowledge.

2nd. By way of the union contract. Managers are not allowed to to “help”
Union employees do the actual work.

Either way though. Bottom line you’re not needed. OSP knows their job and doesn’t need some desk jockey “managing” them. Either you know how to do the job or you don’t. The ones that don’t. Don’t last very long.

You must be a LM. I believe they're talking about second levels/DOO's. I see my LM getting lots of pressure from above. I'm not sure how high the push is coming from, though.
