The alternative is definitely satire.

  How exactly is it satirical? That particular example is actually a pretty normal way to express to a manager that their current load is relatively high but if there was a way to re-prioritize certain tasks then they could possibly get it done. Satire is generally incisive in some way and uses constructs like exaggeration, irony, etc. in a humorous take. Here's a few more: Original: Stop calling me before my workday even starts Alternative: If you need to contact me, please note that my working hours being at 8 am and 6 pm. Communications received prior to this won’t be seen. Original: How much does this role pay? Alternative: Can you share what the overall compensation looks like for this role? Sorry but if this is satire then it's the dry-wit equivalent of the cinnamon challenge.

    > How exactly is it satirical? Without wishing to cause offence..... Americans are rather well known for an inability to spot the satire and sarcasm that pervades our conversation here in Blighty.
