A study finds that bosses can be useful but also sneaky

It’s such a false dilemma to say that the extremes are “manager” or “no manager.”

“Manager” is somewhere in the middle. “Insane bad manager” is the extreme, not the mere existence of a management structure.

I think the quality of performed management tasks is another dimension.

Management & no management is binary. If we used an indicator variable (1 for “has management” and 0 for “no management”) then there’d be no way to have any idea of “quality of management performed” along a different axis in the “no management” case.

I don’t agree that separating this as a distinct inficator variable would actually be useful.
