If your boss was any good at his job, he did most of the reporting and communication to keep the skip level happy. Either he wasn't, or you are just not aware of all the work he was doing. A good manager is a shit umbrella. Most of my managers have been good. |

A big IF - and now the company has to hire more HR and more bosses to check on this boss. Create more bureaucracy around checking "if they are any good".
> did most of the reporting and communication to keep the skip level happy
And someone had to do reporting and communication to this boss in the first place. Thus, a boss requires someone/some people below them to spend time reporting to them, and themselves needs to spend time reporting above them to the skip.
From the big bosses perspective, this miniature boss's existence added more work to the company than required - thus, leading to the original post.
Just yanking layers to minimal required bosses is enough to reduce total work.
