I have a suspicion managers will become redundant sooner than tech workers, although certain big CEOs love to try to say otherwise... (wonder why...).

An (good) AI manager is far more efficient than any human manager, and doesn't need to resort to this tiered system. In theory, they are far faster any any human manager too, meaning the company can scale around them without any issue.

Maybe you still have a board that reviews decisions at a high level, and an office of human manager cogs that can review the individual AI decisions, but then your company structure can become such that a corp of 1k+ individuals can _directly communicate with their customer(s)_

Now, of course I'm not going to pretend that this won't come with its own share of issues, but that's what the "manager cogs" are for...

I have the same suspicion that ultimately we will be working for the machines (which are owned by investors) rather than the other way around.
