Turning into a conservative doesn't excuse you from work

It's a reference to The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.

It's a joke from @morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you mean @morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de? Or does that Community actually exist?

Thank you, I didn't get that, just made a silly joke without knowing :)

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a really great story worth reading btw

Just imagine the diversity hire points for having a massive insect as an employee!

That's a criminally underrepresented minority in today's workforce

Hire them in the HR department. They do a great job.

Been a while since I've read it, but isn't this like a plot point in the original story? That his boss comes by and tries to get him to leave the room?

Great story if anyone hasn't read it (The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka)

Precisely!

I must say that if we people in commerce ever become slightly unwell then, fortunately or unfortunately as you like, we simply have to overcome it because of business considerations.

Sorry Boss, can't come in. The half-eaten apple lodged into my exoskeleton has become infected.

That's not that different from the original story
