    Middle manager here: they want you to quit, and me to do your job plus the jobs of the other 3 who just left after you’re gone.

      What do middle managers do in WFH jobs? Most companies I’ve worked in have as many “managers” as bottom level employees. It’s hilarious

        I’m a middle manager. I run reports to make sure my team is doing what they’re supposed to do and identify things they need to be coached on if they’re falling short. I also attend meetings with other teams to figure out solutions to things my team collaborates with them on.

        In the best case, mentoring.

        In the worst case, produce carbon dioxide, which the plants would need if they weren’t plastic and only in the central office thousands of miles away.
