I imagine all the signs about don’t abuse the staff and incidents of abuse against hospital workers went up at the same rate as the wait times. Abusing the staff is wrong but you have people that have come there because they think they are about to die without attention, they really don’t have a choice
I can tell you with certainty it's the opposite of retention. Point #3 on prakhar897 comment is pretty much everything, nobody is hiring, firing is happening across all F500 just slowly enough to fly under the radar.
Avoid IRL meetings, even if the other person is sitting 5 meters away, why? because productivity measuring software gets no data points if you meet IRL, you are instead measured as AFK. If you VC, the productivity software measures your attendance, how much time you spent talking versus others, is your video on, your adherence to the calls schedule, and depending on the VC software, it can even analyze the transcript and decide if your input / the entire meeting was valuable. Managers can get an aggregate roll up of all this data and great insights into which departments, team members an individual most interacted with... it goes on and on.
At most mega corps you may not be informed yet, but you are already living in a corporate Orwellian dystopia.
In all your corporate comms, on chat or on VC, Make no jokes, speak no niceties reduce small talk, use positive words but not too much, since the machine is bad at understanding, humor, cynicism or sarcasm. Don't ramble, the machine is good at boiling down emotional or spirited ramblings about directions are very bad, they are boiled down to, "not a fit".
Yes this exists, symantec web isolation basically a proxy that injects a little js on the client, instead of proxying http traffic it opens a vnc viewer in your browser, the proxy renders the site you requested in a per session container inside the proxy cluster and your browser displays the output and sends your interaction with the site to the container. some mostly asian financial regulators mandate this happens for all endpoint devices, mobile, thin client, desktop whatever if a human is on the end it must be "web isolated".
My "basis" is that reporting on the labor market in it's current form is flawed as the Fed themselves have stated that it's a lagging indicator on numerous occasions.
So is the fed wrong, or is this another sensationalized article in an attempt to garner clicks?
If my employer wants me to work 40 hours a week (5 8 hours a day) but they have analytics that prove I"m working 2 hours a day... why don't they fire me?
If you're delivering more value than they pay you, why would they? They're literally profiting by keeping you, and losing by not. Sure they could marginally employ another person for even more profit, but save for network effects like cost of communication or layers of management there's little reason to remove a net highly productive person.
Companies - managers - very often suffer from the sunk cost fallacy.
They're very concerned they won't necessarily do any better with the next person, than the two hours of work per day they're getting. They've invested into integrating, training the existing employee. Managers almost always consider it a high burden to have to go through the process again with a new person. If they find a considerably superior new candidate first, maybe they'll get rid of the existing person or rotate them into a worse position. The difference between the two persons, in terms of output, has to more than make up for the headache.

I find it very hard to believe that at a hypothetical $200k/yr, my company benefits to the tune of $201k/yr+ at me working ~10 hours a week (5 2 hour days).
it's a probability thing, esp. if you interact with anything sensitive. Even if you don't actively work, having the keys to the kingdom and being latently trustworthy enough to not immediately defect is worth a lot compared to trying to find an equivalent (and transferring knowledge to them). also the knowledge is invaluable in the one-off scenario where you're actually needed.
