The article discusses a significant decrease in middle management positions across numerous US companies. This trend, spurred by the increased reliance on remote work and video conferencing following the pandemic, is evidenced by mass layoffs and a sharp decline in middle-management job postings.

The author notes that the long-term effects remain uncertain.
