You're right. Google employs over 140k people.

If the average team is 8-10 people, this article is kinda complaining about 10000+ people being shitty at their jobs.

When really, middle managers are also part of the same worker class.

AI will replace middle management.

But who will the VPs yell at? It's no fun bitching out a robot.

We'll just replace them with robots to bitch at the other robots.

Kicking the robots just won't grant them the same pleasure as kicking the serfs I bet. Worse yet might make the inevitable thought "maybe I'm bad at this" might get harder to dismiss it with automata following orders near perfectly.

Just kidding of course they will just blame the devs or personify the AGI making it to blame it.
