    I was working at an amazon, and they made these shitty “games” for you to “play”, and you played them by working faster :////

    Basically, in one, you’d get a pet and it would grow based on how fast you worked. The games also pit you agaist your coworkers so youd feel pressured to - you guessed it - work faster.

    I was doing good one night and told my manager and he went “Nice! Now go even faster!”. By far the worst job ive ever had.

        I watched that episode but it was pretty dumb, because it was just an unexplained dystopia. You can’t make much of a point if hinges entirely on a dystopia with no reason to exist with unexplained systems of power to create oppression.
