In a bid to claw back $2.15 billion, the struggling pharmaceutical giant Bayer CEO is doing away with middle managers and 99% of the company’s 1,362-page corporate handbook, allowing nearly 100,000 employees to self-manage.
the company is going boss-less, or as he calls it, moving to “dynamic shared ownership.”
This sounds like PR speak for “we’re laying off a bunch of middle managers cuz we wanna re-proletarianize our workforce”
