    Why would a system that cares about profit hire middle managers?

    it’s the power struggle. always has been. the implication is always that the system is working for those in power or it would be changed.

      Because capitalists usually don’t know how to do a single fucking thing, and rely on other workers to direct production and, mostly, to act as disciplinarians who avert unionization and promote an environment of exploitation. You’ve never seen anyone half as worried about the owner’s money as the guy with the small office, slightly higher pay, and a plaque that says you’re under him.
