Middle management tends to have the idea that goofing off is a vice.
They try to work as hard as possible. However, in this age of low economic growth, you only have a limited amount of profit and the ceiling is very low, so you have to think about saving your energy - goofing off. Middle management likes to dwell on how to cut costs or save on expenses. This only worsens the atmosphere of the office. You go to your client who is 10 hours away when an airplane only takes you 5 hours.
