Does middle management just have untreated anxiety and are now projecting that onto everyone around them? Literally what are they complaining about here.

"ooooohhh nooooooo my wage slaves aren't performing emotional labor to cater to my delicate ego constructed on false bourgeoisie class identity. I want these trained monkeys to SMILE when they dance, not just do exactly as I've asked based on contractual obligation."

subordinates knowing the value of their labour is the trigger-point of the middle manager's exstential crisis
