Question:
He asks: Is disobeying the direct authority, such as the manager in a department or similar, the same as disobeying the higher authority in terms of sin?
Answer:
Yes, this is part of disobeying the authority, because this person is a deputy for the authority. The manager is a deputy for the authority, and it is obligatory to obey him in government regulations that do not involve disobedience to Allah, but rather organize benefits and prevent harms. Therefore, it is obligatory to obey the manager in accordance with the obligation to obey the authority, because he is his deputy in this department. Yes.

May Allah preserve you,
