Hear that managers, you now have an excuse to shrink your own teams and future promotion prospects!

I can't wait for every narcissist copycat bastard CEO to read these stories and start wondering if they should do the same.
Honestly if you are a CEO and you are overstaffed why wouldn’t you entertain something like this? Do you really want employees that are willfully insubordinate and disregard company policy?
"Successfully fired my entire team over several weeks"
"Pushed remaining engineers to the extreme to finish tasks. Pipped when they couldn't."

The management grift continues and at no point is one asking if the presence of that manager helped the engineering services they were responsible for.

Yeah, Anderson over in Accounts has the same concerns but seemed to make the new arrangement work without missing our Q1 KPIs.
