All of these jobs will be replaced with outsourced workers in areas where they can hire cheaper labor. The RTO mandate is just a farce. Then those jobs will be taken over by AI as it gets more mature. Some companies are more transparent about it internally than you’d expect. HR is hit first usually. Then technical staff. Management staff will be last.
Quality and innovation will gradually disappear just like the old steel factories did. Why invest in quality when everyone dies from cancer before they can appreciate it. Late stage capitalism at its finest.
