I think work nosedived when ‘managers’ became Directors, CEOs and all sorts of other new titles. Driven by the MBA crowd. When the work of senior people stopped being the basic MANAGING of what’s going on, and disappeared up its own butt drawing pictures and having meetings about the pictures, called ‘strategy’ meetings. You’d be lucky to find a larger organisation today where senior staff have any direct connection to the actual work being done, or to managing staff directly.
