Is this a workplace? Did someone take time curate smiling fucking emojis and then print in our in color and post it in the fucking break room?
This was my workplace. Not a breakroom, this pinboard was previously for job-related information. I took this image after we reopened because I found it dystopic, and I have posted it now because I think no one will remember.
My workplace:
Re-opened only months after being forced to close
Is not an essential industry
Frequently crowded, not retail. Think entertainment.
Low-paid workers forced to return before it was truly safe and before vaccines were available
Low-paid workers were drawing unemployment. Most made more on unemployment due to federal support
Low-paid workers would lose unemployment if they refused to return to their job.

Edit 2: the emoji poster existed before COVID and above it was boring job stuff. When the outdated job stuff was removed, the poster survived. The pinboard has job stuff on it again and the poster remains. It is eternal.
Hey at least you had those smiling emojis to keep you company during the economic collapse
