People love to shit on middle managers, but I can say all the ones I worked under (as a SWE, at the one company) were all smarter and more experienced than I was, and I really appreciated the mentorship.

Great. Mine asked their employees how they could help with tasks they knew 0 about, try to solve technical and political issues by playing team therapist, and couldn't even read the Scrum guide deep enough to know what is and isn't part of it.

Anecdotes are great, aren't they?

Anecdotes are crucial for they are the bed of experience.

Don't belittle someone like you did, you just make yourself the fool.

I'm sorry you've met poor middle managers bit really you didn't get your point across. Like, at all.
