the middle manager class. The people whose job is to make other people do work. The people who fought against work from home because it devalued their contributions to an organization. The people most likely to be replaced by AI because they're not the capitalist owner and their not a individual contributor. They're the ones who lick the boot because they dont have to worry about who it's going to stomp on. They're the ones lubing up fascism, and telling us we're all overeacting.
This seems needlessly dismissive. The management revolution in the 20th century built the companies that innovated and built the economic middle class. It's a common trope to hate on middle managers, and not all middle-managers are good middle-managers, but they do play an important role in organizations.
Oh, I didn't know CEOs and corporations ran on logic.
Economics often assumes rational actors, but reality shows most people who make decisions are irrational. That's not unique to CEOs or corporations.
