Google’s Management Diet: 35% Fewer Bosses, Same Amount of Work

 Turns out, even Google thinks it had too many bosses. According to a leaked internal meeting, the company has cut more than 35% of its “small-scale managers”—the ones supervising three people or less. Many were reassigned as regular employees.



Why? To “streamline operations” and make Googlers more efficient with fewer resources. Translation: less red tape, fewer status meetings, and maybe a few fewer people asking you to “circle back” on that doc.

CEO Sundar Pichai has been clear: the future isn’t about throwing more people at problems—it’s about doing more with less (and with AI). Google even estimates AI is already boosting engineer productivity by 10%.

But Google’s not alone on this diet plan. Microsoft, Amazon, Intel, and Meta are all trimming middle management too. Amazon’s Andy Jassy even told staff point blank: with AI, fewer humans will be needed. Yikes.

So, what does this mean?

  • If you’re a manager with three direct reports, congrats—you might soon be their colleague instead.

  • If you’re an employee, you’ll probably have fewer check-ins but more pressure.

  • And if you’re AI… well, welcome to middle management.


Google didn’t just cut the fat—it cut the middle layers of the cake. And in 2025, AI is starting to look suspiciously like everyone’s new boss.
