US companies are currently undergoing a significant restructuring that has resulted in the mass layoffs of middle managers, marking a fundamental shift in corporate hierarchy.
The trend of having too many managerial layers—"managers who manage managers who manage managers"—is becoming outdated, as companies streamline operations to enhance efficiency.
Citi has reduced its management levels from 13 to eight, while UPS has undertaken significant layoffs of middle management, showcasing a move towards a leaner workforce.
Amazon's recent announcement to increase its worker-to-supervisor ratio by at least 15% further exemplifies the growing trend of reducing middle management positions across industries.
