Serious Problem with Management and the AI Shift

We have a serious problem, and it is hurting American society. My Indian manager’s manager is sitting in India, and there is a lack of work ethics throughout the management chain. There is no real work-life balance, and this management culture is simply hurting American workplace culture.

With the shift toward AI, we should no longer be relying on H-1B employees in the same way. We need to reduce unnecessary layers of management and put more resources into engineering - hiring and retaining people who can actually code, leverage AI effectively, and deliver results. We need fewer managers and more capable engineers who can build.

Most managers provide little to no value, manager teams but have not idea what the team does or delivers. If they are gone, not impact on the department.

Agree with both of these. The middle management layer is heavy and dominated by Indians, some of them quite arrogant. No real knowledge but good salesmen, all packaging and polished decks. And they seem to thrive until something happens and their incompetence gets exposed. They do not care about anyone but themselves. The direct reports are nothing, given secretarial works all the time and not used to their abilities. It does not matter if they are Indian or not, they all get the same treatment. The shiny deck and the meeting with the CTO/CIO/CFO is what matters, nothing else. No support and no visibility for the direct reports. They simply do not exist. The middle manage cannot remember what was discussed yesterday or the day before. They simply do not care and why should they they report to another Indian who is even more savvy with the decks and the enchantment of the CXOs. AI is here to help with that. Direct report keep leaving but that does not matter either. It never did.

The whole goal of Indians is to get into management. If you reduce the number of managers, you might as well get rid of all the Indians. They cannot do engineering work correctly without significant hand-holding or rework.

This has been one of the saddest periods for tech and financial services. We handed the keys over to people without any ethics and who see success as just acquiring wealth and power at any cost. Our high trust society is being broken from the inside.
