Middle managers get blamed for everything — low engagement, slow decisions, broken communication. But here's what nobody says out loud: the manager role was never redesigned for 2026.
In this episode of HRTechify, I dig into the Manager Tax — the invisible weight that's breaking middle managers across industries. We look at why AI is making the role harder, not easier, what happened when companies like Haier, Spotify,tried to eliminate managers entirely, and the one question every organisation should be asking but isn't.
This one's for HR professionals, people managers, andanyone navigating the space between strategy and people.
