It is a joke, and funny. But not entirely sure this is un-realistic in todays world.
or
"As you know, Grandma has Long Covid. With her reduced efficiency, and diminishing ROI, tough choices have to be made"
> Edit. Not sure why the negative feedback. We all know this is satire and a joke right?
- mynameisvlad 3y agoI think that's generally the point of targeted satire. You've seen the real thing (from companies, in this case) so many times that it feels like it could be real. It's the basis for sites like The Onion and Beaverton.
- rightbyte 3y agoYe messages from some companies are best described as psychotic. I got this feeling that the inner circle on many companies are like sects, but I have never dwelt on those my self.
- FrustratedMonky 3y agoI know it is satire. I'm saying it might be even more dire, that in todays world, and limited access to health care, families might increasingly put kids up for adoptions. And of course, the cross link to corporate satire makes it more funny and sad.
- gabereiser 3y agolol, to the detriment of employment discrimination laws banning you from firing an employee due to medical reasons… funny but there are some companies I know that operate this way.
- legitster 3y agoI mean, there are a lot less far-fetched examples. I mean, I left home at 17 for economic reasons. And if you think of all of the people who have disowned or been disowned by their own family it's pretty common.
