Middle management is the layer of managers who sit between the people doing the work and the executives running the company. They are the people who translate orders into day-to-day schedules.

| — | Apple's new CEO moves to overhaul the company to run faster and leaner 「中层管理」 · 第 1 张术语卡 | Ternus is cutting “layers of middle management” to bring engineers and senior executives closer together — and Apple has already dismissed hardware engineering programme managers. 为什么公司一喊「精简」就先动中层：中层是信息传递的收费站——每加一层，决策到执行就多一次解释和等待。特努斯用的是苹果式的具体做法：直接拿掉「工程项目经理（EPM）」这个岗位。EPM 几十年来负责排时间表、协调跨团队，是苹果产品开发的神经中枢，但它不写代码、不做设计，所以最容易被当成「可压缩的」一层。代价是：工程师要自己管排期，沟通成本从组织图转移到了个人身上。读这类新闻时可以问一句：被拿掉的是「层级」还是「能力」？ |
