What's with HN editors changing the title on this one from the actual title of the article ("If Your Boss Could Do Your Job, You’re More Likely to Be Happy at Work") to " Employees are far happier when led by people with deep expertise"? The original title was far more descriptive.

I agree with your comment. The new title seems to be taken from the article itself though (as opposed to just made up by someone).

"Using these three measures of supervisor competence, we found that employees are far happier when they are led by people with deep expertise in the core activity of the business."

HN mods have a really strong propensity for editing titles they consider either misleading or clickbaity. I guess this is supposed to be the latter. IMO they can be... overeager about it.
