I'm a WFH worker. My company is fully remote. They are really great at managing departures and make sure everyone's aware and has a chance to say goodbye.

However I can't shake this feeling that the mindset that got us from treating servers like pets to treating them like cattle is creeping into workforce planning, and the WFH movement is making it that much easier.

Why plan capacity when you can scale resources up and down on-demand on a whim? With the emotional and morale implications of letting people go hugely reduced it becomes easier to think like that.
