So, has anyone here read Ready Player One? Or at least seen the movie?
If not, don’t worry—I won’t spoil anything. All you need to know is that in its futuristic setting there’s this lovely mega-corporation with, let’s say… flexible ethics, called IOI. Their charming CEO plays the bad guy, and the company has this cute little habit of locking up customers who get into debt in its very own private prisons—sorry, Loyalty Centers 😏. Once inside, people are forced to work in tiny cubicles until their debts are paid off… except, of course, food, housing, and “miscellaneous expenses” get deducted first. Which means, in practice, it’s almost impossible to ever leave. Fun, right?
Well… here’s my personal spin on that idea: The Loyalty Box™, the latest breakthrough in workplace motivation technology. Hooked directly into the employee’s computer—and with a nice array of cameras always watching—the Loyalty Box can measure productivity with incredible accuracy. And if your performance starts to slip without a good excuse, it’ll kindly “remind” you via a little plantar stimulation to get back on track. Unless, of course, like our bespectacled friend here, you’re the kind of person who enjoys racking up a juicy motivational penalty 🤭. Oh, and let’s not forget—the more you slack, the longer your shift inside the locked box gets extended… until you’ve heroically made up for every single bit of lost work.
