Companies Cut Middle Management Amid Concerns Over Future Shortages
Companies like Uber, Intel, and Coinbase are reducing middle management roles, viewing them as obstacles to innovation. However, experts warn this could lead to a significant shortage, with the Georgetown University Center projecting a deficit of 2.9 million managers in the U.S. by 2032. Middle managers play a crucial role in enabling leadership and supporting front-line employees, but the position often lacks clear career pathways and job security, making it less attractive despite its importance.
