Much of this is a symptom of Corpo Talk. Corpo Talk avoids offending anyone, but may lead to the elephant in the room only getting discussed over beers later (WFH equivalent: 1:1 Zoom calls).

Corpo Talk colors people after a while. Even some of this author's suggestions are beating around the bush. They advocate "naming what's happening" and then just as quickly walk that back to "Ask, Don’t Tell" and the perennially Corpo "we."

Alternate title: "Folks, I've noticed we are calling out room dynamics? Do we think that's an art?"

I agree with you, but using the word corpo to describe a very old phenomenon of society does not add to your argument.
Corpo Talk is a recent phenomenon, but of course it has antecedents like everything else.
