I've never middle management cut to same levels as IC. I dont know why that is though.
replyI have but it's rarely done by buyouts or with same IC mass layoffs. There is also generally less managers.
replyMost of time, it's after all IC, they look at what's left, decide what moves to make and lay off the managers.
However, I have seen more and more where managers are told what's happening and they find new jobs before layoffs.
For non-Americans: IC = Independent contributor = employee without people reporting to them

replyThe same reason you’ve never seen the US Congress meaningfully change anything about their role, compensation, etc.
replyYeah, it’s definitely not the devs who get LLMs to do all their work but still act like it takes the same number of story points or time as the before times
