"Managing" wasn't meant to imply "direct reports." I don't think I've ever met anyone with 100 direct reports (although I can see completely routine roles where that might happen -- Uber/Turk/etc. can exist with zero human management).

Yes that's what my comment was. Often it's 100 people below them. The % of time managing any of these people is low.
FYI twitter seems to be moving to a low manager high employee count. Musk himself said that a ratio of 1 manager per 10 coders is way too high. I suspect he wants it at 10x that amounts.
My current manager has 31 direct reports.
Sorry if this is confusing it's a hard subject to describe over text and I think there is a lot of nuisance lost over text here.
