Yesterday when I was driving back home, I was talking with my wife about how in some companies, mediocricy gets promoted no matter what. Interestingly, through the conversation in lots of cases those people in charge are there because they are friends of, or liked by someone inside but not based at all on experience or skills. That got me thinking that nowadays most companies can have real-time metrics about the goals to achieve and how they are performing against those KPIs. Suddenly I realized that lots of middle-managers will be not required anymore because in general that "management" could be done by AI. Assuming AI will not have any bias, that's impossible and we know it, that friendly/endogamic game might end? What do you think? Could AI reduce or even remove endogamic jobs? BIG NOTE: I don't like AI handling and managing people, but I can see this as a possible future. Actually, I think this would not be possible in EU in order to protect employees.

The need for management is a symptom of company size and HR protection policies more than it is about actually needing to "manage". And the role itself is less about understanding metrics and more about listening to complaints and pacifying employee interpersonal issues. Now, if the employees are also AI, then AI managers work great. 😂

Already heard twice: AI will generate the output and a human will validate it. So we could have fewer middle managers. Follow up question is if we need to drastically change who is being promoted
