    Why does their CEO look like he could be a human version of Mr Poopy Butthole from Rick and Morty?

    Also I like the choice of including a damn vending machine in the video. My new job might only be hybrid WFH but at least the break room is stocked and completely free.

      He looks like someone started dating Bill Nye, then changed to Bill Nighy but messed up and crumpled it up and threw it away.

    The soda can crushing to “crush the competition” is so cringe… I don’t know maybe that talks to sales people.

      I think it does, since they are ringing loud bells and cheering in the office when they get a sale…

    No small feat to become a top 5 hated person on the Internet for a day. Well done Internet Brands exec team.

    I really hope all these commercial real estate entities sink into a deep hole.

    They’ll try to blame people for not wanting to come into the office, but they need to die, the parasitic clowns they are.

    Notice how all the C-level management are the speakers in this video and they desperately need people to come back because otherwise they’d have to work themselves.
