Google may not have "started" the whole get rid of middle management idea, but they have certainly popularised it. Only to learn later ( much like 99.9% what Google does ) that you do need middle manager. But then they have zero idea how it should work. ( much like 99.9% of their product ) May be A/B testing?
Middle Management is hard. Constantly being torn apart by top and bottom. You either have decent manager that gets your team a huge boost of productivity but stressed to burn out. Or they run wild and becomes the villain themselves. I guess this is either you die being a hero or do it long enough to become the villain.
