"But because Whitcomb Advertising’s staff worked and lived in their offices on company-provided life support, they remained in the same office until their very last day. Home, office, and hospital rolled into one."
It seems there are many corporations that would love to have this scenario.
"Personnel" was changed to "Human Resources" which became "Human Capital".
They tell us how they think of us.
Thanks, Bill, that bad boss got what was coming to him.
“Home, office, and hospital rolled into one.” My God, that’s chilling.
The assassination might not change anything at the company. If whoever takes over agreed with Whitcomb’s policies, then more old people will be stuck in those conditions.
Let's hear it for 96-year-old Shirly May who continues on from her "work bed". Work bed! I don't know why that oxymoron struck me so funny, but I choked on my morning coffee. Then I realized I am writing this comment from MY work bed. ( Perfect last line, too, Bill.)
Wow! I wasn't expecting that ending! But he's got to go so that's took care of him!
Deliciously dark humor and a great twist ending. Loved it. Great story!

Well, that’s one way to retire. 😉

Always interesting, and great twists!
Just fantastic!
As I get older I always wonder if there will be a spot for me in the workplace. This got me thinking...
Makes me appreciate the idea of having robots in the workplace. The ending was unexpected.
Your surprise endings never disappoint

Wow! I’m not a fan of violence, but he needed that! (Your surprise endings are the best.)
Whoa! I definitely didn’t see that ending coming. I’m thinking you could turn this into something bigger. Maybe a series.
