I often wonder if the benefits of automation in the corporate environment have yet to be realized... Perhaps a good fraction of the executives and board members could be replaced by autonomous AI systems with little effect on profitability and productivity, indeed perhaps a positive effect? The remote office setup might just be making this a more visible issue.

That's its own dystopia that some companies have chosen to ramp up in the last year and a half. What metrics do you think represent a productive employee? How many minutes are spent in Zoom meetings? How busy their calendar looks? How often they wiggle the mouse? There's plenty of surveillance-ware companies have to already track those and more employee metrics. There's plenty of social media posts going viral of surveilled employees excitedly learning they can put a mechanical watch under the laser input of their mouse just so they can use the restroom or stretch their legs without getting dinged for being "unproductive" on "company time".
