Love how they released the game early to appease the investors only to have them lose a bunch of money because of it lol

I honestly wonder what middle management spends their days doing other than having pointless meetings.

If they’re good (which is pretty fucking rare), they should be identifying issues and blocking and escalating them to people can fix it, taking pressure from above without passing it on to their workers, having a fair few of those useless meeting with other middle managers to share information and insights so people aren’t working against each other or implementing significant change that will fuck up things their workers are doing, advocating for more staff if needed, persuading senior management not to do stupid shit, developing staff (including finding them jobs and making connections for them when they’re reached the limits of their current role), etc.

I worked at a family owned financial company that was dabbling into software so management was pretty… uh… involved and personal, and I can say to you with full confidence, they are either taking 3-hour lunches or browsing the web looking for shit ideas to force you to do.
