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?

“informing, not asking”

To any employees out there, don't be someone else's biotch.

Demand for workers is at one of its highest points right now.

There are other jobs out there, but you only have one respect for yourself.

(The above is said assuming that the company is not trying to just shed employees. If that is the case, then stay and give them hell. Only you can determine the state of the company you're working at, financially.)

Time to unionize WebMD. Maybe the union can turn it into a decent website.
