And Nothing is going to fire you if you don’t find a creative way to meet their bullshit attendance metrics.

I love being treated like a gradeschooler. Really boosts my morale, especially with nearly two fucking decades of experience and being on the wrong side of 35.

Stop bothering me and let me do my fucking job, for christ’s sake.

Edit: all that said, the company name does make for an amusing headline

This is an interesting approach from the CEO, in that it demonstrates why unions are mandatory.

I've just right now noticed that they are talking about the company...

I'd meet those rules out of spite, and do a really crappy job while there. They'd essentially be forced to fire me, and I'd consider suing for wrongful termination in not providing a suitable work environment for me to do my job (evidence is my productivity before and after being forced back to the office).
