VP - Tells directors to work faster Director - Tells managers to work faster Manager - unblocks team ICs - do real work

Or another way to put it is

VP- protects their empire from the C level

Director- protects their department from the VP

Manager- protects their team from the director

IC- can get real work done because they are protected from this political crap
