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

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.
