Do CEO’s understand the damage done long term by cutting middle management positions?

https://fortune.com/2026/04/12/middle-manager-cuts-leadership-pipeline-crisis-2028-2/

CEO’s sell the cost savings and benefits of flat leveling business structures. And don’t take into consideration leadership development suffers long term and senior leadership has so many direct reports. That there is little time to direct strategic objectives by the VP level position holders of the CEO’s objectives long term.

Have middle management and senior management experienced this issue a few years after major structural changes at your company?
