Alternative text: Me, sacrificing my health by sleeping too little so that I can be paid the absolute minimum that my corporate overlords can get away with, while extracting the most value possible from my labor.

Time to get eatin’ 🍽️

I might be a vegetarian, but if rich people are on the table... I don't know if I can say no to that.

It feels worth it until I wake up with -13 minutes to get ready

Every time 😩😩😩

If oversleeping ends your career, its not your career, it's wage slavery.

If you oversleep by hours or days and your boss says, I was worried. Are you all right?

And you reply, yeah, I overdid it last night. I'm just exhausted.

And he says, that's a relief. Can we still make the deadline?

And you say Barring further unforseen problems. Yeah. I have the prelims already.

And he says, You're the heart of the team, Larry. Email me the current version after you've had some coffee.

That is your career.

"A career" is a fictional concept that this reality has created in order to keep you away from the real reality in your brain when you go eepy sleepy.

Real reality is wild as hell in that case

8 minutes? I've overslept hours.

And no, I don't have a career ...

I overslept hours and I do have a career, the key is to WFH

Doesn't really help if your boss wants to have a meeting with the team first thing every day.

[–] LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah just sleep

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 8 months ago

I feel like I overslept years.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And no, I don’t have a career …

I wonder why /s

I thought that was pretty obvious, but I guess it leaves enough ambiguity for a joke or two.

When you hurry to your home office desk just to realize that the morning daily was canceled
