surprising nobody, RTO mandates have nothing to do with productivity, and everything to do with a trillion dollars in zombie office towers: the-sentinel-intelligence.com/

@darkuncle I like OKDoomer's stuff but I think she's forgetting that RTO is also about getting a percentage of your staff to quit without having to pay them severance. Which, again, is nothing to do about productivity, but still worth noting.

If you are tracking employees’ mouse movements to see if they are working, you should just close up shop and go out of business, because you are effectively *paying them to move the mouse*. I can barely conceive of a bigger failure of management than this.

@darkuncle surely your most productive employees are the ones that use the CLI and keyboard shortcuts and don't need to use the mouse?

“What if you set out to make the worst website you possibly could? So poorly designed and full of frustrating patterns that users would not only hate the experience of using this website, but would also come to hate your company. Could we make a web experience so terrible that it would express how much our company hated our users?”

@darkuncle I had to get documentation and SDKs from Broadcom when I was working on AWS networking devices, and I agree with everything written there.
