Where is the endorsement? I see a corporate mandate, not an employment contract.

Corporations put out all sorts of fluff. If employees took it seriously then everyone working at facebook should have a VR helmet on their head 24/7.

Employees were required to agree to the document or be fired, with only a few days to decide.

That is insane, but totally believable in modern corporate cultures. I have heard of lawfirms in the 90s organizing non-optional hunting weekends, to identify any manager not a sufficient "meat eater". I cannot imagine anyone getting away with such things today.

A weekend, told on Friday, had to decide before Monday. Absurd.
