Big backlog of project-manager work looming 😖
Jevons paradox. The more you automate middle management work, the faster demand for it rises. I was naive to think software could eat middle management. It just blows up demand for meta-middle-management.

A bad middle manager is just a clueless person waiting to be automated (in a way that’s unreliable enough to blame for failures… so instead of “Michael Scott screwed up” you can say “The ERP system screwed up”)
Good middle managers otoh are just unambitious live players. Rare.
