Rarely serious. Surprisingly familiar.

News from a future that looks suspiciously like today's workplace. Satire belongs here, and only here, not in Quick Floor Fixes or Founder's Thought.

Today's problems.

A deadpan look at workplace habits that may survive long after the technology changes. The first episode will appear here when the actual video is available.
