Read previewThe great unbossing is underway, with companies cutting middle management positions. Cost cutting, Gen Z's distaste for management , remote working, and increased pressure on performance are all factors in why middle managers are finding their jobs are most at risk during layoffs.

The "undermanaging" boss can be as toxic as micromanagers, a workplace expert said. A pushover boss can also hinder an employee's professional development.
