From the outside, this reads well. My takeaway is that the current goal is to become more engineer focussed by driving away middle management, and removing the OKRs that some managers may be hiding behind (or using to entirely justify their jobs).

I wonder what the pushback from the board and management will be, but I don't get the impression Tan will pull any punches when discussing removing middle-management, nor will he take a defense of "But I need the three levels of management below me" kindly
