This is mostly a terminology quibble, but I guess it also means I’ve been mildly misreading previous posts: I wouldn’t say you have middle management until you reach four levels. That is, my usage (and also Wikipedia’s) of the term would be “people who manage managers, and are also managed” while you seem to just mean “people who manage, and are also managed”.
At least one of the corporations in Moral Mazes had more than twenty ranks.
But per the comments on the previous post, that’s not necessarily (and probably not) twenty levels of hierarchy, right? In that someone might be given a promotion to a new rank and pay grade, while continuing to manage exactly the same set of people who themselves have exactly the same set of responsibilities.
In which case it’s not clear how relevant it is, and it seems misleading.
