"I don't think middle management is the majority of any quintile, certainly it isn't the majority of the 2nd."

Not any more. Which is what I have been saying.

"Maybe they kicked out half of them, but there is a big difference between half and none. "

Dunno about your company, but there used to be a lot of people whose jobs consisted of moving stacks of paper from one place to another. And there were huge number of file cabinets and file clerks to feed them. Much of that has disappeared with the universal acceptance of PCs.

"My manager made six figures"

I find that surprising. The most any manager made in the NASA area was maybe $30k. Some made as little as half that.

"Assistant managers where paid very little (they could also do deliveries and make the tips from them"

It was rare in the stores where I worked for a MIT to make a run. Much better to have a driver at $2.50 to $3.00 an hour to make the run instead of a MIT who could be making as much as $5.85. Besides, it was unusual to have the manager and the MIT in the store at the same time. Outside of rush on Friday's and Saturday's, there was one or the other. I did get called from one of the other stores during their rush when one or more drivers didn't show and they didn't have any alternative. But that didn't happen often.

"but if they weren't they where getting less than double minimum wage"

Even with time and half, I wasn't close to double minimum wage. In that respect, 80+ hours a week was a blessing. I had a wife and a new born.
