Comment on WebMD forcing employees back to office. "We aren’t asking or negotiating at this point. We’re informing"

in 2021 my job was “informing, not asking”. a bunch of us walked, and it crippled the OU. They actually shut it down not long ago, they decided to keep a skeleton crew on to keep the app running while the contracts run out, then they’re gonna sunset it

lmao gg. The absolute disrespect to even say “informing, not asking” unironically. Pretty sure these people see us as slaves at some level.

  Honestly, if they said only that part in a memo, it would still obviously be very bad but it would be so much better than embedding it within this video. If I were an employee watching this, when they reached the part where they play Iko Iko while people dance after the CEO delivered the ultimatum, I’d want to shoot myself in the fucking head.

    Are you unfamiliar with the concept of wage slaves?

    Of course, you have freedom of choice. You can choose between eating a shit sandwich or a tube of tile grout compound.

    They won’t admit it of course, but to save on raw material costs, since 2011 the tile grout has been actually harvested from truck stop restrooms.

    Plenty of slaves received wages throughout plenty of historical periods. Read a book.
