Your cynicism isn't properly calibrated.

If you look at the viewpoint of a CEO, you'll see that they would be chomping at the bit to get rid of as many high paying technical or administrative roles as they can; it's not like that extra money is going to flow down the chain.

Now, if there were a threat of LLMs replacing a management position, that would be a different story.

Edit: Apparently my reading comprehension is what needs calibrating. Turns out I agree! My bad.

That's what OP said. Unless there's an admin/IC role that pays $800k+/yr, in which case sign me up!

Ah, yes, I totally glossed over the number range; that's my bad.

I don't know that they want to risk it getting that close. Once one BS high paying job gets eliminated the dominoes start falling, shareholders are champing at the bit to replace any and everything with bots and I think the riff raff will start rallying for them to get replaced as well - if all the actual work is being done by bots why tf does this asshole get to pull 7 figures to press enter on the LLM instead of automating it?
