There are new people here today. But they are being lead about by on of the department heads in accounting, not by Miss Barry, so I don’t think they’re new employees. Besides, why would we have new employees when we’ve just had all those layoffs? Anyway, the new people, whoever they are, look extremely young. I mean even younger than me—right out of college. Maybe some of them even are still in college. That’s it; they must be interns. They all carry laptops, expensive ones. That is puzzling. And they are nicely dressed for interns. Also puzzling. Hmm…they are going into a conference room. The accounting department head is leaving and shutting the door behind him. Why would he leave interns unattended like that? Hmm…Oh here comes a maintenance person. He has a sign for the door of the oh so young interns. I’m going to go see what it says.

“Do Not Disturb. Audit in Progress. Consultants Inside.”

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.
