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?

They do it because they invested in the property and want to make it worth their while. Now they can enforce some stupid productivity policies while you are there.

You're forgetting the part where they can shift the blame of the company is tanking as the fault of " lazy workers who won't RTO" instead of their terrible management, to convince shareholders not to get rid of them

Or, "we're raking in record profits but we need to make the line go SLIGHTLY more up for the shareholders, so we're telling you to RTO in the hopes that enough of you will leave so we don't have to do layoffs". Layoffs look bad to shareholders, but masses of people quitting? Meh, it happens now.
