From a previous employee such as myself, I find it humorous to see so many of you bashing management, assuming they do nothing but sit there and stare at numbers all day. OBVIOUSLY, you are the ones that know nothing. I would say that most of the employees that worked for me were good folks, but... You know as well as I do that you could get rid of 1/4 of the hourly employees that you work with, and yes, complain about how they do nothing, and never miss a beat in your department.
With that being said, yes there are some managers that are absolutely worthless, most of which were promoted from craft with no managerial experience, nor were they properly trained, or took the initiative to learn their jobs, and how to properly support their teams.
To state "Cut Management" may mean you are the one that don't know what they are talking about and should fear yourself being on the chopping block.
Now, PLEASE do yourselves a favor, prepare yourselves for a new job, update your resume, make sure it is professionally written and focuses on your marketable skill sets. Do something to make your career better, rather than just complaining about WIN…. The job market is booming and is the right time to change careers or get on with a much more stable company.
Remember… WIN owes you nothing!
