Oh I completely agree that it's a bad measure. I'm not looking for a justification, I'm curious for an explanation of why management might be incentivized to act this way. If theres a business case for it it's fairly easy to rationalize as a manager why you have a moral responsibility to put employees at risk (the economy is running in WFH powered by our CPUs! They need us!). Especially if they're in for a nice bonus if sales spike in higher demand. I'm more curious if there's even a business case to be made which might explain (but not necessarily justify) reckless behavior.
