100% this. My first manager at my current job was in middle management at the time and is far and away the best manager I’ve ever had and one key reason I’ve stayed at my current job for nearly 10 years. He kept the typical corporate bullshit away and allowed his team to thrive. He’s a director now but thankfully the managers under him have maintained a similar philosophy.
