My previous employer was so top heavy it was unreal.

I counted maybe 4-5 managers with some variation of Director/VP of Software/Engineering/SWE/SWEProject and yet more kept getting promoted into that echelon over my time there, with no clear indication of what most of them did. For a 400 person operation that did two giant layoffs.

On my end though, management was worse than useless and did absolutely none of the things that good managers I’ve had previously (or subsequently) have done.
