the ultimate goal of the project isn't actually to increase productivity at all, but rather, to remove as many humans from the system as possible. humans have opinions. humans are trouble.
in fact this attitude goes back a long way. i remember hearing from a higher-up, in all seriousness, about 15 years ago, the line that "the biggest threat to a company is its employees".

trying to remember the circumstances of this now. it was during a time that the company was trying to make the transition from being a "medium sized" company to a "large" company and reasoning that if they wanted to be large they had to adopt large company attitudes. they got this idea that a large company had a large staff turnover and were threatening a policy whereby the 10% least productive employees would be fired every year. absolutely batshit stuff. i left shortly after that.
