Are these the real names?
Are they fake?
Maybe it was just one person or three people, and they made up a bunch of extra names to inflate the company?
Maybe
this is one of those staff rolls
that goes on
for sixty or seventy minutes
printed in tinyass font
to squeeze 'em all in
to fulfill contractual whatevers
but discourage journalists from tracking people down, ask 'em about the crunch and so forth-
-I know, I know
"tiny font conspiracism"
how embarrassing
but I know I'm not the first to entertain such notions
signs
of my own unease
more than anything
that my escapist good times
owe their existence
in whole or in part
to abusive labor conditions
why roll credits anymore
when it reminds me
of the all-too-human element
breakroom campouts across six months or more
asleep at the workstation
-I'm sorry, what was that word you used?
Hm?
home?
is that what you said?
let us have a clarification session
work is the new home
so you needn't bother with the h-word anymore
you're home
or else
-surely, the staff roll will be simply and utterly excised at some point, right?
individual persons
all absorbed
into logo
-heh, the ruthless logos of a logo-
dark side Voltron
full enforcement of capitalist existentialism
merge into corporation
only kind of personhood with any power left
I mean if you're not what you do for your living
then what are you, hm?
oh, oh, oh,
one of them-thar Third Rails-
BZZZZZZZZZZT!
