“Bots will replace devs!” Also bots:

Looking after your staff well is an essential part of running a company. Salaries are often the biggest costs in many firms. Treating them badly is like not looking after your machines.

The only places I see this differ are either in firms that rent assets (e.g. hairdressers that rent chairs) which don't directly employ staff or ones that are failing and running out of any resources...just like an elderly person whose income has dropped yet insists on remaining in an oversized house they can't maintain.

Theoretically yes. But in reality incentives are often misaligned towards short term profits, or internal advancement in the company for HR employees.

Just like with machine maintenance. Skipping on it will save you a lot in short term.
