Employees are expected to go into the office on alternate days — either Monday and Wednesday, or Tuesday and Thursday — and use a matching process to"establish norms with their desk partner and teams to ensure a positive experience," per CNBC. Some staff made fun of the measures and posted memes targeting the"corp speak," CNBC reported. It said that one meme read:"Not every cost-cutting measure needs to be word mangled into sounding good for employees."
