Nah. This is the kind of job you land for 2 reasons:
1. She knows someone.
2. Eye candy to keep the devs entertained / grinding / in crunch mode / etc.

These kind of videos - and there's been at least 5 from different tech companies, always young women in undefined marketing roles - are also blatantly propaganda to sell the in-office perks to devs that can do 100% of their job from home.
It works 2 ways like that. Trying to bring the actual workers back to the office, and acting as an advertisement for that company' alleged work-life balance (very important to Y and Z workforce)

Of course it's all a lie if you aren't connected... a young attractive daughter of some congress/lobbyist/VP/etc.
You know, if you have to actually produce work.

I know a 20-something attractive gal that works for TikTok. That video somewhat mimics her life that I've seen. I've listened to her on conference calls with her "supervisors" and they sound clueless - always stating things in the form of a question "so i guess we need to ____ next?" Her job is not technical, not sure exactly what she's supposed to be doing. I frequently see her post pics/videos at TikTok party events, with plenty of TikTok give aways - and these seem to be for the employees. I was at dinner with her at a restaurant over the holidays, she picked up her phone and logged out of work (we had been at the restaurant for over an hour at that point). Explained to me how Elon could come into Twitter, file multitudes of employees and they still kept running.

Where Elon went wrong is going after the Devs and thinking he, with his BS in Physics, could understand all the code.
Or that he could manhandle programmers into coming to the office. They got options, and crunching for him at the office probably isn't high on the list.
But i do laugh at all the articles complaining about food cuts etc.
