    W-what? Why? Seriously, what sort of message is this supposed to impart? The 'Seriously, we missed you' sign makes it seem like a corps genuinely trying to welcome everyone back in and rebuild an 'office culture'

    But the other two are genuinely mean spirited? 'hey are you glad we get to tell you how to dress again?' and 'you enjoyed working with your pets i bet, fucking loser'

    I would actually be boiling with rage. I'm never going back to the fuckin office, especially not now that it seems it's a possibility they're going to demean me lol

      In a slightly less shitty world, they were planted by culture jammers.

        This is what I told myself. Either that or someone in the graphics department is (rightfully) pissed off.

      They live entirely in their own world where all of this is completely naturalized and there's nothing but irony in the "lol fuck mondays" type of sterilized complaining about the world you can do while maintaining social niceties at work.

      Remember Cato the Elder treatise about agriculture especially the part about slaves? Those are those type of people, they just cannot literally whip you anymore so they pass the time inventing new ways of psychical abuse.

      If you put real valid complaints into sleek advertising and posters, it normalizes them. It says, "You being forced to wear uncomfortable clothes, and spend most of your one precious life around people you do not love, is a normal human experience. Just as normal and inoffensive as all the other advertising and relatable memes you see every day." In the same way you ignore the ads, and make mundane and ordinary the things you hear over and over again, they say: Ignore your discomfort. Do not let it sit unintegrated in your mind for so long that it drives you to reflection, or god forbid, to action. This is how you should react to these feelings. This is how every one of your coworkers, putting up these signs without protest, placidly walking through these doors after you, has reacted.

      Those were approved by a group of people. Multiple people looked at them and said they were a good idea

        Hustle (to Shaanxi to avoid encirclement by Nationalists) and Grind (the Nationalists down via protracted people's war).

    Yes, if office workers don't hate their work with passion, something in the stars is aligning wrong and make their bosses very uncomfortable.

    porky-scared-flipped: "QUIET QUITTING!? MUH COMPANY LOYALTY! DEAD!"

    Smugly taunts his employees first chance he gets

    This isn't a communism thing, it should be a criminal offense to be this spoiled rotten as a person.

    The only option would do be take your sweatpants and your dog (emotional support animal for workplace ptsd) to the office, except your dog isn’t a real ESA it’s one of Biden’s rapid German shepards and he loves the taste of Armani suits
