Sure, you don’t have the bifurcated memories, but the start-to-end routine is still the same. You get dressed, put on your clothes that reflect the culture of the workplace. You put on your identifier badge that lets you into the building. Sure, you have a face and a name to the badge, but in reality, the computer authenticates you and you’re nothing but a number: “Employee 2922 access granted”. Now you have to put on a facade and greet your colleagues. “Hey Peter! How was your weekend? Great job on that PR, David! Can’t wait to see it in production!” These are just platitudes to placate the folks in your vicinity so that you are in good standing as to be a “team player” and stay employed; the opposite is a fate equal to death (at least, in America when you lose your health insurance). You sit at your desk contributing code to “improve enterprise business functions”. All profits generated flow up to the executive team and CEO who makes $20 million a year. Now you head to an “All Hands” meeting where the executive team pumps you up. “Let’s do this! Our next generation distributed cloud is instrumental in achieving digital transformation in the enterprise. But remember the cardinal rule: Our culture comprises of one thing- we pledge our allegiance to one group: The Customer.” After working, you leave from work, taking off your badge, no longer designating yourself as #2922. Now you feed your mind with mindless stimulation like games, social media, and fighting and disagreeing with people with opposite viewpoints on the internet. But until then, sleep and existential dread until the next morning where it repeats.
