That’s never been a concern with the corporate executives. The macro level stuff is someone else’s problem.
We saw it in the 90’s when they stopped hiring managers from within, instead relying on bringing in outside consultants, and then directly hiring the ones they liked, so that there was no longer a path between the typical employee’s seat and their boss’s seat.
We saw it in the 2000’s when companies realized that they didn’t want to train entry level employees anymore, and would rather wait for someone else to train them, and then hire midlevels. Except too many employers did that and then the pipeline of future midlevels dried up in a lot of industries that were then ill positioned to survive the tumult of the 2008-2010 recession. Then something similar played out in the 2010s in certain other industries.

It’s always been buck passing. They don’t care.
