I… I thought a middle manager is any manager who’s not the very lowest manager, and not the CEO? As in, any manager who has managers above and below them?
Comment on German court sends Volkswagen execs to prison over Dieselgate scandal
colourlessidea@sopuli.xyz 4 weeks agoWhat’s Volkswagen’s org structure like? I wouldn’t normally expect a department head to be middle management.

Good question - I also don’t know how clear those definitions are. In my head all managers that are under department heads would be middle, and department heads + C-suite would be upper/senior management. And the subset of upper management that is C-level is, well, C-level.

I thought middle management was the guy in between the crew and upper management?
Absolute shit stressful job, btw. Never doing that shit again. If you have a heart, that job will kill it.

Think of them more like division heads. Not quite a regular middle manager, but not C-suite.

I mean the diesel engine department would probably be quite big for a company like Volkswagen. Each engine type has a team of engineers and a manager.
