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?
Sounds like a whole lotta quittin’ time.
That is the intent of RTO policies, yes. It’s a lot cheaper to compel workers to quit rather than fire them.
Same thing is happening a lot of places. One large american company that I’m not going to mention is doing several rounds of layoffs along with a return to office initiative.
It’s Amazon.
That’s not the one I was talking about, but it doesn’t surprise me.
What if you just pretend you don’t know what RTO is and stay home anyway
That’s literally what a bunch of Amazon employees (engineers and stuff, not like warehouse workers) were doing, and last time I checked it was actually going weirdly well…?
I barely even read my corporate bullshit emails. Unless my actual boss is telling me something, IDGAF.
so strikin’ time then?
