As a quality of life initiative, the company has decided to instill a half-day Friday policy during the summer. Employees who, of their own estimate, have worked the minimal 65 work week and who have completed their work and feel the need to spend time with their families, exercise, run errands, clean their houses, shower, and sleep may opt to leave the office premises as early as 3:00 p.m. on Fridays.

At 6:15 p.m. the first Friday after announcing this initiative, a lone pioneering employee leaves.

He is never seen again.

About Zombies At Work

As I approach my car, my mood begins to elevate. Fresh air. Sunshine. As I feel increasingly good, I begin to wonder if I am experiencing some form of bipolarity -- if mental illness is a side effect of corporate life.

I will learn that it is. It is dangerous, can be chronic…even fatal. It is called corporate zombism.
