Jobs that either don’t contribute in any meaningful way or jobs where one would be better off if they were paid to be on call.

    This is the real reason why companies are trying so desperately to camcel WFH. Covid revealed the truth (that we knew all along) that these people add no actual value to a company. They’re only there to act as a buffer between the C-suite and the peasants.

      Managers of people can be good.

      Managers of managers are almost always useless.

      how are you connecting cancelling of WFH to middle managers ?

      Also in your ideal company you don’t have team leads department heads but peasants talk to CEOs directly ?

      They’re only there to act as a buffer between the C-suite and the peasants.

      This is a very important role in some companies, otherwise the C suite meddling would stop any work from getting done.

      I’ve had two excellent managers and both of them saw their primary purpose as being a bullshit filter to free up the rest of us to do actual work.

        I am just thinking of my job. The client wants something stupid, I have to pick and choose my battles. When it comes time for me to hand over to fabrication I get yelled at. Never mind the fact that what the fabrication manager sees is the aftermath of my work. They had say 13 bad ideas and I got it reduced to say 6.
