Have a read/watch of this other asshole CEO going on an unhinged rant about return to office earlier last year.

Interesting. I hadn't seen that. Dude looked like he was on some kind of upper but the supercut didn't do him any favors.

I watched the video and I didn't hear any real facts or reasoning, it's just a hype video. Rinse and repeat statements from your favorite gigantic corporations.

"Internet Brands did not respond to a request for comment, except to say that people were busy with meetings. "

Well there's your problem.... Probably having meetings about how they need more meetings.

I'm honestly more stunned that this is an internet company. They didn't think this was a bad idea to post to Vimeo?

It's great how all the executives recorded their videos not in the actual office.

All of their tech job openings are in India or Vietnam. I’d have assumed a major US health data handler would be developing onshore!

Dude in his boxers is late for the no-pants subway ride, which only people who work in person participate in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Pants_Subway_Ride

Here's the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

The No Pants Subway Ride (or No Trousers on the Tube Ride in the UK) is an annual event where people ride rapid transit or subway while they are not wearing pants. Beginning in New York in 2002, the event spread to as many as sixty cities as of 2013.

That's just a normal Tuesday in NYC

They were probably concerned that all their employees seem to be getting cancer.
