Professionalism kills

CW: Ableism, Slurs

Welcome to the professional life.
Interact.
Socialize.
Talk.
Network with us.

We don't care about your trauma.

Those clothes aren't professional.
They scare the workplace.
Dress how we want you to.
It's part of the tradition.

Care about the company.

You're ruining the profit margins.
We'll laugh at you if you don't.
Laughter isn't professional.
Fit into the profession.

Be like us.

Don't you like being a useful little dog?
A well oiled cog of the capitalist machine?
Come to our conference!
Quantify your worth to us.

Look at how much we care about you.
Don't cry.
We don't want to see it.
You ruin the atmosphere.
Go do that in the restroom.

The company family matters more than you.

Don't worry; it's gender neutral.
You're a valuable asset.
We love our family.
Please consider our investment.

Now work.

Emotions have no place in the workplace.
Stop being unprofessional.
You're scary.
You're not complicit.

You don't like to work.

You aren't socializing.
You aren't networking.
Ramble; loiter; don't shut up.
You aren't telling us about your trauma.

We need to make you feel comfortable.

You know how to do so much.
You learn so quickly.
You could provide so much for the company.
We need you.

Need us.

Let us take advantage of you.
You're a shiny, golden cog.
You look unobtainable.
We like a challenge.

We need to make you work.

Don't be proud of your work.
Remember: you don't know how to do that.
You don't have any certificates.
Paper rules this world.

We're so gracious for giving you some of it.

This is the company's product.
Learn your place.
Get back in line.
Get back on the ground.

Get back in the machinery.

Our hands are clean.
Only the invisible one is dirty.
You didn't know your worth.
You didn't bargain hard enough.

Don't you know how to wage the information war?

Just talk more.
You're white, aren't you?
Just ask more questions.
Why aren't you like us?

"You must just be a retard."
