In the last few decades workers got the impression that there is some sort of a utilitarian reason or rationale behind the workplace practices or management approaches. After all there is research! Business schools! This facade has started to crack in many places, and RTO is just a very obvious example, it's almost absurd how the companies prizing themselves for being "data-driven" descended into "we're doing this because bossman says so". But it follows the spirit of times anyway, people will quickly adjust.
