So many studies say this will lead to far less productivity for anything remotely knowledge work, especially over a long period.

Meanwhile smarter companies are going to a 4 day work week. https://www.investopedia.com/four-daywork-week-study-success-11777896

It honestly blows my mind how these "leaders" get paid billions of dollars to run their companies into the ground because they have no fucking clue how real humans operate.

Nothing to do with productivity. It's all about small dick energy CEOs wanting to validate and underline their self-perceived superior status. "How dare the little people work as little time as me?"

Yeah they're not going for productivity, they're an AI company. They just want the appearance of it to juice up their valuation or to stroke an executive's ego.
