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?

TBH was WebMD ever actually reputable? They're like the Forbes of the medical world except Forbes actually used to be good.

For doctors as a reference tool, seems that way. For the layman? You have cancer.

Wait what? Doctors are using the "you've got cancer" website? Mother of fuck that is terrifying

I found several historical articles that indicated that at one time it was a useful source for medical papers. I can't speak to the veracity of it, just reporting what I found by asking if WebMD was ever reliable
