I didn't read it all. But I think we agree. The problem is owners. Not bosses. People who get to do nothing and still get paid

Then I think you should reread @glimmer_twin@hexbear.net's comments with that understanding. We all agree that management is a necessary part of the social production process, but that it is ownership that entitles people to stealing from the working class.

I now understand what they mean, but I stand by my coment because it does seem to blame bosses. It's just a matter of wording

Yeh I’m coming back to this thread late, but I have conflated “bosses” and “owners” (or more technically “capitalists”, or more specifically “people who do nothing except sit back and watch their portfolio increase” lol).

I actually thank you for this comment chain, because it’s reminded me to choose words more specifically and not just assume everyone’s on the same page when it comes to terminology. Of course every workplace needs people to manage it, even if there were no individual owners!
