I honestly think that all large corporates are like this now. If you’re running a machine shop or a printer or a small to mid sized thing that DOES stuff you’re fairly efficient. But big corporates seem to operate for entirely different reasons as well as whatever product or service they do.
You e got ESG money which short circuits responsibilities to shareholders for example. And which circumvents customers boycotting of they don’t like what you’re pushing. To get the ESG money you need a whole woke infrastructure in your company so that’s all the diversity and equity stuff. Most of that is pure grift - you then give money to ‘trainers’ and courses and accreditation bodies to show how woke you are and get that ESG score up.
Those woke HR and equity people start to form a growth in the company that’s cancerous.
Then youve got mergers and acquisitions- big companies in pharma now are just absorbing other small companies and that’s their growth. But it’s not real growth it’s absorption.
So your fifty man print shop has maybe one girl doing the accounts and one at the front desk and a couple handling payments and hiring but everyone e else just does the printing, emails customers, keeps the machines running. Earl useful. Big corpos have all these extra parasitic layers
Twitter has the added factor of being a government mouthpiece. What I would t give to see where the money for that came in to the company from

> it's the people with options to work somewhere better who are leaving
This happened at the last place I worked. It was so incredible to watch it happen. First the COO took off, and her favorite VP (who hired me) took off as well. Pretty much immediately my line manager, the 3 top-performing engineers in our division, and 4 of the 6 top-performing project managers on my team left as well. I left shortly after. I think the really crazy thing was watching how the remaining management literally lacked the competence to understand what was going on, or to even differentiate between people on our team and in our division in terms of who was good at their job and conscientious about client interactions vs. who was apathetic and under-skilled.

I've noticed that middle management and up don't really see humans or even differentiate between them except during compensation assessment (and even then, barely). It's all just a numbers/headcount game to them. Every human is equivalent in their given role when it comes to planning/org structure.
In bigger companies, this management layer is more concerned about creating domains of influence or "kingdoms" then they are in actually delivering value for the company. Not sure if this is just normal human organizational behavior, or something has gone off the rails in corporate culture - but it is what it is.

It's happening at my company as well, and particularly in my own org. I'm one of the people leaving for better opportunities away from politics and silly RTO mandates lacking any semblance of data grounding.

It's the Burger King approach to management: all employees are just generic worker bees, and you can just go down to Burger King and order a Whopper, some fries, and maybe six engineers. Problem solved!

Anyone who bothers to think things through can see the huge, obvious flaw: people are not all the same and that these are human beings, not robots or drones.

This flawed point of view, that you can just think of employees as widgets, fails again and again and again, and yet MBA schools apparently keep teaching it, and/or people keep trying to use it.

And in this case, the failed RTO initiatives: really, I would love for one of these CEOs to explain to me what the point is. You don't think people are productive from home? Based on what, your gut feelings or conjecture? Because the opposite is true. People in offices waste a ton of time—just watch them. They stand around and bullshit. They get up and look for people to talk to (about non-work things). They make disruptive noise. What they don't do a lot of is actually get work done. Meanwhile, you're paying for their office space and electricity and everything else it takes to keep an office running.

So what's the purpose of RTO? If I didn't know better, I would say it's 1- an attempt to justify sunk costs of office leases, and 2- a huge power trip.

Doesn't matter: it will ultimately fail because offices are counterproductive to actually getting work things accomplished.
