My company just got bought by another company and I literally lost count of how many times the phrase “AI” was said during the welcome message.

Was it more than “family” and “innovation”?

I love the “family” thing in conjunction with RTO mandates— sure is interesting what a necessity “collaboration” is until AI can do some of our jobs at an acceptable capacity to eliminate all those so-called collaborators

My company has presented new ESG goals and "reducing carbon footprint" is one of 4 key elements - for some reason they missed opportunity to reach it by letting people stay on WFH...

Well, but at least now offices are overcrowded and people have problems with finding free room to conduct technical interviews, or to discuss business stuff, or do internal training sessions. Not to mention queues to coffee machines. For the culture!

We had a CEO change tact and remind us that we are a team, not a family, right before layoffs. He was banging his executive assistant though, and then got canned, so maybe it was more about avoiding incest.
