Instead of announcing mass layoffs, tech companies use RTO orders.

They are very effective at trimming the fat and creating peons. Also effective in stopping the corperate real estate crash that alot of important trust funds depend on.

Productivity < Compliant Workers < Stock value

RTO definitely helps reduce workforce and keep the most complaint workers.

I suspect that "most compliant workers" and "most creative engineers" has little overlap.

Well, 'most "complaint" workers' completely changes the meaning here.

Even if they overlap, your creative engineers will naturally become less creative if you start making their workplace worse for no reason.
