Tearing Down Tiered Management

I find it ironic that, in Wednesday's class, the lowest group had to write slogans glorifying management when we suffered from poor management during the majority of the activity. During the activity, my group was stuffed into the dusty corner at the end of the hall away from all of the other groups, and did not receive any information until nearly forty-five minutes into the class. To top it off, the information came from another group and not our middle manager. Everyone seemed to be kept in the dark, and as a result, we achieved very little and never saw a single Goates Buck. Based on stories I've heard from other groups, the people who received Goates Bucks or direction had to approach the higher tiers of management, which we were instructed not to do. Overall, I feel like this activity showed that the exclusivity in tiered management needs to be broken down in order to respect those in higher positions, and also that lower level workers' needs must be addressed by those in higher positions in order to encourage a steady work flow. At this point, I'm interested in the discussion of the activity in class so that I can see how things worked for the middle managers and top managers.
