Been reading The Work of Living by Maximilian Alvarez and got to a part where he's talking to a miner about recent changes in management where managers are now disconnected from the work they're overseeing. Alvarez talks about hearing the same from a shipwright and a nurse.

Given the widening wealth gap in the USA, then if management can be defined as a wealthier class, it makes sense that new managers would come from families that have had to labor less.
