Sorry... sorry, couldn't help it.

But yes, I absolutely agree with your comment! Middle management is really destroying a lot of company reputations unfortunately, much to the dismay of the talented teams of engineers working below them.

Probably the best example of this tragedy: Boeing.

I think this is inevitable for any large enough popular enough company.

SOOOOO many people in management consulting/finance who picked up some coding because "that's where the money is"

There is a non trivial amount of "influencer VCs" in social media.

Google/Meta will have to sort out their cultural cruft fast otherwise they'll go the way of IBM.
