Often that's a good thing. A bored manager is very dangerous to productivity.

This made me chuckle, probably because there's some truth to it. I need my manager to prioritize tasks according to their business value and distribute them among the team. Then stay the hell out of our way.

I misread this as "bosses spend more time on social media than on their subordinates". I was ready to send this to my boss as a hint but alas.

That is excellent. It distracts them from interrupting the people who do the real work with pointless meetings and other bureaucratic nonsense. The fewer managers a company has, the more effective and productive it is in my experience (30+ years).

I'm not totally surprised about this but did the article specify specific types of jobs/industries? If it's retail or something that's different from an engineering Org - manual jobs are different from "creative" work
