^Phew, hey, do you need a coffee or anything?
I'm gonna grab one for myself. Reaaaally need it right now...
>I'm okay.=C23-2-1
>Are you okay?=C23-2-2

~C23-2-1-1
^You're telling me.
Management has set some tight deadlines for my section...
It wouldn't be so bad... except I'm starting to miss my family.
>You'll see them again soon enough I'm sure.=C23-3-1
>So why don't you just go home?=C23-2-1-2

~C23-2-1-2
^I mean, obviously I could. But I'm a team player!
I can't just abandon everyone else because I'm tired.
>I guess that's fair!=C23-4-1
>But when does it end?=C23-4-2

~C23-2-1
^Cool. I'm glad to hear it.
I can't remember anymore the last time I went home to sleep.
>Yeah, I guess things are busy right now.=C23-2-1-1
>Why don't you just go home?=C23-2-1-2

~C23-2-2
^Hmm, I'm alive... I think...
Just a little tired...
I can't remember anymore the last time I went home to sleep.
>Yeah, I guess things are busy right now.=C23-2-1-1
>Why don't you just go home?=C23-2-1-2

~C23-3-1
^Yeah, I hope so too.
Feels like we've been crunching for a long time now.
Obviously I don't have to stay... but I'm a team player!
>That's the right attitude.=C23-4-1
>But where does it stop?=C23-4-2

~C23-4-1-1
^That's what it feels like...
I need this job. Demand for people with my skills is rare.
And I think the company knows it.
I have no bargaining power here.
>You should just be happy to have this job.=C23-5-2
>That's really not fair.=C23-5-1

~C23-4-1-2
^I'm starting to wonder that myself...
&C23-6

~C23-4-1
^It's a tough spot! If I take a break, everyone else has to pick up my slack.
And if they can't do it... who knows?
Maybe we all just get replaced?
>Yeah, you're kind of stuck...=C23-4-1-1
>But is it worth the sacrifices?=C23-4-1-2

~C23-4-2-1
^I need this job. Demand for people with my skills is rare.

>You should just be happy to have this job.=C23-5-2
>That's really not fair.=C23-5-1

~C23-4-2
^I'm not sure. I'm a little concerned.
I don't know how long I can keep this up.
I'm on the verge of a total breakdown...
&C23-4-2-1

~C23-5-1
^It's like this at any big company though...
Do what the bosses want, or get fired.
&C23-6

~C23-5-2
^I was... but it's literally starting to kill me...
That's crazy, right?
&C23-6

~C23-6
^There's something totally backwards about all of it.
Just because I'm getting paid, doesn't mean I'm not a slave to this system...

~C23-7
^Phew, okay, I need to get that coffee.
Uh... don't worry about me. I'll be okay.
And please don't mention our chat to anyone either.
