Middle managers - not a small demographic in a rich 
country - have a divided consciousness and divided loyalties. 
Sometimes they think and feel like bosses, and sometimes like 
ill-treated underlings. And in both cases, they're right. 
Politically, they could go either way. It's not unlike the classic 
Marxist analysis of the petit bourgeoisie, which most dinosaurs have 
no problem understanding. Is it that middle management is an 
innovation of the last 75 years, which challenges those with a binary 
worker-boss model of the world to think freshly?

there was this 19th century bearded cat who wrote that middle and 
intermediate strata obliterate lines of demarcation everywhere, 
unfortunately, the manuscript was unfinished...

and dig this, the same dude pointed to what looks suspiciously like
'managerial revolution', that separation of ownership and management
thing, heavy stuff man, really heavy...   mh
