most of them are coasting, hosting "bonding" events, socializing, holding useless 1:1s where you're supposed to "take the lead", just utter bs.

I had a manager who had a manager who had an director who had a director who had a VP who had a VP who had an SVP who reported to the CEO. I may have left out a few layers.

That layer cake can go much deeper.

M0 -> M1 -> M1 -> M2 -> M2 -> D1 -> D1 -> D2 -> D2 -> VP -> VP -> VP -> CxO -> CEO

Mx = manager Dx = director
