While this behavior may exist in pockets, my experience suggests that this is not broadly the general mental model / approach by executives. I think this is a narrative in some peoples heads, but is neither an accurate reflection of the world, nor a healthy way to approach employment.
You're probably right, though I speak from anecdotal experience, as the CTO of my company recently said that developers should be 5X more productive with AI. So what if I'm not 5X more productive with AI? Doesn't matter, because there's more tickets in the sprint that, in his head, I should theoretically be spending the same time working on as "before AI."

But it may be consistent with worker's experience with the effects of executives' actual decisions, and a better fit than the executives' actual mental model.
