WebMD forcing employees back to office. "We aren’t asking or negotiating at this point. We’re informing" (ody.sh)

This leaked today from inside webmd, the most bullshit corpo HR video I think I've ever seen.

To break down the obvious ones:

  • Employees who are obviously either drinking wayyy too much company koolaid or who know that their jobs will end if they aren't in this video
  • An extremely out of touch CEO who wants things back the old way without giving any concrete data proving that it's better beyond conjecture
  • A company with "internet" in the name who literally doesn't understand the concept of the internet
  • Threatening and bullying language to force people back in office.
  • and just a nice touch, the office is of course not near mass transit or anything and requires driving in
  • Did anyone notice they were all on green screen, kinda proving that there was no need for them to be in person?

I was just casually googling this video and came across this absurdity. I don't dare give them views to find out the answer.

They want people back "for the simple reason" that they work better together. Well, yeah, I'd agree, without a pandemic.

But healthy people work even better.

What hits me about this video is how unprofessional it is. None of these people are people I would want to work with.
