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.

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.

"We're not asking we're informing" lollll

Having said that... People working from home has been the biggest frustration in my work for the past three years. I specifically picked a company where people like to come in, and are required to for at least three days. I want to work with people, not anonymous voices with cameras switched off not responding to calls and messages (I'm sure they're all hard at work lmao)
