Manager Cartoons: Satire on Micromanagement & Middle Management
Managers shape how work gets done day-to-day. They assign tasks, track progress, and translate organizational expectations into daily activity.
These manager cartoons by Ravindra Potharaju at Kaapi with Ravi explore middle management behavior in the daily grind.
We look at micromanagement framed as oversight and status updates that substitute for outcomes. This is process adherence valued over human judgment.
If you’ve ever worked where managing the work became more important than doing it, this collection of managerial satire will feel uncomfortably familiar.

By satirizing the friction between middle management oversight and actual productivity, we explore the reality of workplace process and authority in action.
