These days, they're selling software solutions, not just lectures. Now they get to charge a subscription fee on top of everything else!

I work 2000km away from the office. I've been there once. When I walked up to the front door for the first time, after 3 years of working there, I was greeted to a locked door and a sign reminding me to "check in on Envoy". Apparently, they wanted me to reserve my desk a day in advance, online.

No one had ever bothered to show me what that was, or how to do that, because I, uh, work 2000km away from the office. And I wouldn't have known which desk was next to the microwave because I, uh, work 2000km away from the office.

Can I ask what your position entailed, such that you could work remotely for 3 years?
