A Utah tech mogul has become the internet’s latest corporate villain after scolding his employees on a video call filled with strange and tone-deaf sound bites.
The CEO, James Clarke—who founded digital marketing firm Clearlink in 2001—told employees this month that he had run out of patience with griping about a new return-to-office policy, which mandated four days in-person per week for most workers within 50 miles of headquarters.
“I took it and I listened and I was kind and I responded with kindness, but no more,” he said, as Vice News previously reported. “You have misinterpreted my kindness for weakness.”
