    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’ 🍽️

    Hey I’ve actually done that before kept snoozing my alarm for a few more minutes, got written up a few times, got a final warning and one day I was like “eh I can probably find a new job easily” and rolled over and had one of the best sleeps of my life and was in a new job by Monday of the next week.

    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.

      this is what my current boss acts like and I love it. best job I’ve ever worked. I sleep in until 11 almost every day, my boss doesn’t care as long as I’m keeping pace with the things that are needed for the next release. I’ll say “I slept in this morning because I was really tired” and he’ll say “alright, go get some more rest if you’re still tired, update me on your task when you can”. this is how work should be.

    “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.

    8 minutes? I’ve overslept hours.

    And no, I don’t have a career …
