Ok.

Well, I can see the direction you are going. I am unconvinced though - it hasn't thread the needle.

Reason being

1) They are doing both in cube farms in the PHP, RTO + replacement by GenAI.

2) In high tech, they are also trying achieve these contradictory goals. RTO + Increased GenAI capability to reduce manpower needs.

I can see a desire to reduce costs. I cant see how RTO to improve team work sits with using LLMs to do human work.

That’s a lot of weight on RTO and why it’s being implementing. A company is fully able to have you RTO, maybe even move, and fire you next day/month/year and desiring increased teamwork is not mutually exclusive of preparing for lay offs. Plus, I imagine at these companies there are multiple hands all doing things for their own purpose and metrics without knowing what the other hand is doing.Mid level Jan’s Christmas bonus depends on responding to exit interviews measurements showing workers leaving due to lack of teamwork, Bobs bonus depends on quickly implementing the code.
