Same is happening in the uk atm. Private equity companies grinding everything down to dust because the only business methodology now is cut and sell. All that exists is 3 workplace archetypes, the “family” business run by a despot, startup that gets sold and everyone axed, large archaic businesses filled with endless misery where you never actually are allowed to work and are measured on meaningless metrics.

Meanwhile the news just keeps repeating “productivity is down work harder work longer” while nobody working is actually even allowed to work because having a job in a western country is more about babysitting and stroking the egos of management than actually producing anything. Well at least until what you’re supposed to be making fails and said management throws you under the bus while consumers blame you for being lazy and not working in the office enough.
