1/ A brief history of Office Chair Racing, for the new fans:
2020: The League collapses overnight. Office hallways go silent, the chairs collect dust, casters begin to rust. Several legendary teams fold. Dark times.
2/ 2021-2022: A few brave souls race on “flex days.” Attendance: whoever happened to be in on a Tuesday. Historians call this The Wilderness Years. We call it depressing.
3/ 2023: AI starts quietly doing everyone’s actual job. Nobody tells leadership. This frees up and enormous amount of “bandwidth,” which management assumes is going to ward strategic thinking. It goes toward lap times
4/ 2024-2025: Amazon, JPMorgan and dozens of other companies drag everyone back to a desk citing “culture” and “collaboration.” Leadership calls it a renaissance. We call it a grid of 200 people, freshly oiled casters, and nothing to do.
5/ 2026: The League has never been stronger. Turns out forcing everyone back to the office doesn’t create synergy. It creates racers. You’re welcome, Jaime from HR.
Republicans can totally keep telling these people that what they see in their own finances isn’t real, that it isn’t that bad, etc. and being hostile toward anyone suggesting otherwise.
They’ll just keep losing.
