‘Don’t Mess With Us’: WebMD Parent Company Demands Return to Office in Bizarre Video::“I've seen better acting by hostages in direct to DVD movies,” one anonymous worker wrote about the video.
Bullshit to the "We are more productive when together " line.
No, they are not. Commutes eat into productivity big time. It would take my wife sometimes 2+ hours to get into work in Boston. Now, she puts the kids onto the bus and logs in. Last year, they even said they were the most productive they've been in the companies history (200 plus years, mind you).
Now it's "We need to be in person to be more productive" bullshit. These assholes sunk too much money into corporate real estate.
Plus, let's be real, most in person interactions with coworkers are not productive. I worked at home and then hybrid from June 2020-October 2021 and was far more productive on my at home days. Everyone spent about half their in office days socializing and then went home and actually got stuff done. My job is entirely in person now and some of the projects I do are taking way longer just because there are constant distractions in the office and they put me literally in the middle of the room. I kind of don't even care because if they want me there, those are the consequences.
