Yeah, that’s part of it. But there is something more fundamental, it’s not just rising up the ranks but also time spent in management. It feels like someone can get promoted to middle management and be good at the job initially, but then as the job is more about telling others what to do and filtering data up the corporate structure there’s a certain amount of brain rot that sets in.

I had just attributed it to age, but this could also be a factor. I’m not sure it’s enough to warrant studies, but it’s interesting to me that just the act of managing work done by others could contribute to mental decline.

Does this also explain what happens with middle and upper management? As people have moved up the ranks during the course of their careers, I swear they get dumber.

Yes.

I think the people should boycott all headlines with slams in the title. Unless it’s about professional wrestling.
