That’s most tech corporate jobs tbf. Lots of middle managers with nothing much better to do than play musical chairs once a quarter. It’s like that XKCD meme about there being the standard that will clean up the mess of there being so many standards. Surely my way of working will solve all our problems of underinvestment and losing key talent…
Wow, the Lord’s truth right here. I never saw it that way, but it absolutely explains why the last company I left put me through 4 reorgs in 3 years. So many middle managers with nothing better to do while an increasingly smaller handful of people kept the place from burning down.
If you look at their Glassdoor you’ll see many complaints about their reorgs. Wonder if that’s related at all

Telling people to return to the office is gives them an excuse to fire people for not listening to directions.
I’m glad to be in a union.
