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
Ofcourse, have to cruch the next linkedin 10Xer, giga chad Alpha male post.

If they didn't, the subordinates wouldn't get to be on Facebook very much at all.
Something something Elon Musk.
Given that he owns Twitter, would this title imply that he works harder than his subordinates?
Of course he is. The man is manual testing the product 24/7 with all kinds scenarios.
