WebMD forcing employees back to office. "We aren’t asking or negotiating at this point. We’re informing" - eviltoast

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?

      So what’s the strat here? Stay employed but do not go to office until you are lid off and then lawyer up?

      Edit: spelling

        That will depend on state employment laws and the contracts they have.

        So who knows, here in Europe in my country if you are an employee then the employer determines where you work from, contractors are independent they can work from where they want.
