That’s my observation at all the bigger companies I worked for. The manager of the manager of the lowest level workers has no contact with the workshop reality. They live in the PowerPoint world with hockey stick growth slides and ideal project plans. There were exemptions, but very rare. One level above has absolutely no touch with reality without any exemptions. Some of them were able to participate in meetings from the shower with enabled camera in the past… I doubt these are working hard.
