A lot of managers can be automated. Few are making creative decisions that can be replaced by a computer, and smaller teams of managers.

The primary output of managers is not "making creative decisions" in fact that's probably not anywhere close to the top line.

And because they are only doing administration and reviews, they are even lesser required.

Yes, you can always push that admin and coordination and communication work down to the ICs. I'm sure you'll be thrilled to get that added to your plate.

Are you talking about the same admin and coordination required to keep 10 layers of management updated?

Easy enough to solve, just remove a few layers.

Sure, and while if you want it to stick, you'll have to get rid of the CEO and the shareholders, too.

Those 10 layers of management work for them, not you. That's why they exist.

[nine_zeros]

Yes, and that's why they are removing the 10 layers. It's not working for them any longer either.
