Before anyone becomes too happy: the post’s title is inaccurate, the two people sent to jail are only middle managers:
What’s Volkswagen’s org structure like? I wouldn’t normally expect a department head to be middle management.
I.... I thought a middle manager is any manager who's not the very lowest manager, and not the CEO? As in, any manager who has managers above and below them?
Good question - I also don’t know how clear those definitions are. In my head all managers that are under department heads would be middle, and department heads + C-suite would be upper/senior management. And the subset of upper management that is C-level is, well, C-level.
