Our first question comes from a Reddit user.

MXAGNC asks, Hi, Scott.

Love your brain and dulcet tones.

We all know junior and middle management roles are being decimated by AI, but what might be next?

Experience independent contractors, senior leadership, or even CEOs?

There seems to be different cases for each and would love your thoughts.

Yeah, it seems to be a big topic lately that AI can replace all management layers.

Gartner projects one in five companies will eliminate more than half their middle managers by end of this year.

By the way, Gartner doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about.

I just don't, I don't buy that.

Anyways, Coinbase got 14% of targeting pure managers.

Microsoft laid off 6,800, citing AI and flatter org goals.

Here's what Jack Dorsey had to say about his company block and layoffs.

Open quote, for the first time, a system can maintain a continuously updated model of an entire business in ways that previously required humans relaying information through layers of management.

So this is my take.
