Tech executives and investors have claimed that loafing employees are dragging down companies. But experts say the real problem is “lazy management.”

    Let’s put it this way then. All of management could take a month off, and very little would be affected. If all the workers go on strike for a month, not a single thing would get done.

      I won’t pretend to know your situation, but this feels wrong.

      Unless your management team is full of nepotism hires or bad fits that haven’t sorted themselves out yet, it’s full of people that were in your shoes.

      Re: The Bottom - YOU may be an exception, but most people on the bottom lack the confidence or sometimes critical thinking skills to deal with unexpected issues tactfully. That’s important if you want to make payroll.

      If you are the exception, I preemptively congratulate you on your forthcoming promotion. :)

      Again, I disagree. Plenty would not happen if all of management disappeared, just like plenty would not happen if all of workers disappeared.

      Look, I get it. We all hate managers and the C suite. But pretending like these roles are aren’t vital is detrimental.
