So Microsoft's is casting about for something new because AI is not worth the money they spent on it, and management are all out of ideas? Better get the grunts back in their cubicles. Perhaps that will magically fix it. A managerial cargo cult move.

As per the Dead Sea Effect, they're not going to shed the dead weight.
Not heard of that phrase before but 100% this is what will happen in my Co; the talent will leave so they'll make their redundancy savings but at the cost of retaining all the life's that put no effort in.
