I guess this is because they got a new CEO recently, which makes total sense as a shakeup is needed.
But; has anyone else ever experienced the "swell" of middle management and "restructuring" which always seems to result in more people in management positions?
I've now worked in three companies where this is extremely apparent. In the latest company I've gone from 3-degrees from the CEO to 6 in little over ten months.
I think I understand why this happens: you need to promote people, but:
1) Is it bad, I suspect it is because there's usually not _more_ managerial work than there is individual contributor work- but then more managers tend to need more managers to talk to/make powerpoints for/make decisions without involving the team
