IME a good manager is an umbrella against the shit raining down from higher. I suppose they're not good so... yep. They folded.



"There are three kinds of managers: the shit umbrella, the shit funnel and the shit fan."


It’s also extremely rare to find an organization with middle managers that don’t reflect the culture of the organization as a whole. If the middle management is toxic and/or incompetent, it’s a good bet that all layers of management are similar.
