It seems to be the same in every company. Layer upon layer of managers and supervisors that don't actually DO anything.
Companies would be so much more efficiently run without them, so what causes this?
EDIT: I think I might have something of an answer here thanks for @ABigguhPizzahPieh 's comment/video they posted. So, the notion of "robots are going to take our jobs" has actually already happened, and it's been happening for decades. There's just not enough work to go around for everyone. But reducing the work week from 40 hours is obviously unconscionable in capitalism, because working people aren't allowed to have nice things or better lives, so instead there has grown a massive layer of managerial and clerical type "workers" who are paid to do nothing for 40 hours a week and are miserable for it.
they keep the worker oppressed and create a layer of padding between the workers and the absolute caligulan parasites at the top.
as both a managerial system and a class structure; it makes perfect sense.
remember; corporations do not exist to be efficient at making money. they exist to perpetuate and exacerbate classist exploitation and diffuse responsibility into nothingness. a layer of middle managers is just logical for this. MORE layers of middle managers is MORE logical. vague corporate structures cannot be lynched.
they don't have to do anything. they just need to exist identify (more with the oppressors than the oppressed)and attenuate.
