The building in Severance is the former Bell Labs building in New Jersey that has been converted into a bunch of smaller offices for other companies. There's people who drive to work everyday to work in the Severance building.

I started listening to the Severance podcast, and Ben Stiller and Adam Scott compare Atlassian's Confluence (the worst wiki software in the world, as you probably know; it's so bad) to the Severance procedure, with wording very much like what you quoted in the post.
