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?

The most surprising thing I learned from this video is that WebMD still exists

The best thing to happen from WebMD is we got a bunch of actual medical providers like Mayo Clinic, University of Maryland, Merck Manual that went, "GAH! No!!" and made actually informative, updated medical websites.

Healthline, kids. Healthline is where we go for our medical information.

Surprisingly stubby Wiki! “Reception” section pretty weak. Surprised they haven’t fleshed their page out. Why do you trust them?

Because I think quality of presentation is not being factored into the assessments you're seeing on that wiki.

I tend to recommend Healthline to the public because it clearly targets a lay audience, and chooses to meet that audience where they live. It's written the way I talk to my patients, and the information is accurate and accessibly easier to read.

Just look at the difference between the pages on hypertension from Healthline and MedlinePlus:

https://www.healthline.com/health/high-blood-pressure-hypertension

https://medlineplus.gov/highbloodpressure.html

The details and accuracy of the information is not different. But the way Healthline presents it is so much more accessible.
