 The permanent removal of headcount — mass [[redundancy]] — usually targeted at that sweet spot in the organisation whose own reports aren’t so ''useless'' they can’t get by without supervision by [[Subject matter expert|someone who genuinely knows what is going on]], and who aren’t so ''senior'' that they get to make decisions about who should be subject to a [[RIF]]. Usually, therefore, it is a means of taking out a swathe of mid-ranking [[subject matter experts]].
 ===Line management===
-A word about [[Line manager|line management]]: a modern corporation is organised like an inverted, multilayer family tree, tracing back to great, great, great, great grandfather [[Hank]].
+{{line management capsule}}
-Everyone, bar [[Hank]], has at least one [[line manager]].
-Fortunate staff have ''only'' one line manager: ''les miserables'' also have a “[[dotted line]]” into someone else. This is a bit like having an open relationship, or an affair with a distant uncle.
 But we digress.
