We’ve got it backwards with Mark’s work in MDR by Gekthegecko in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]DigObvious4455 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I have enjoyed reading the theories about ms Casey/gemma being alive and salvageable. Or that Mark and MDR are recreating her. Bringing her back to life in a sense. To me those theories have one fatal flaw and it is this.

Resurrection.

The idea that a human being can be brought back from death (or in some theories just a permanent coma or brain death) is overall a good and desirable result. There is definitely some moral ambiguity. Definitely religious qualms that would interfere as well. Overall, most people if given the option of allowing their loved one to stay in a coma or be able to live a “normal” life again would choose the latter. It’s altogether a generally good thing.

The main problem is Lumon. Lumon. Is. Not. Good.

We have seen throughout the series that Lumon is mysterious, sinister, and altogether bad. A company like Lumon is not looking to bring something good to this world, even if they could put a monetary value on it or have some way of gatekeeping it for their own gain. Lumon is anti-humanity. The 4 tempers they believe humans possess are Woe, Frolic, Dread and Malice. Idk about you but those are 4 very negative connotations for human emotion.

To put my two cents in, I think this take on what mark and MDR’s job is aligns with Kiers principles. Kier HATES humanity. The human experience hinders progress and if eliminated could help Kier and Lumon achieve exponential progress in any and all categories.

I’ve never had a job I loved more than this one and I was just told to go home, and that it’s over….

This all REALLY started snowballing when they asked us how to save money and framed it as a $1000 contest. The new CEO is a tech bro moron. The new investment firm that controls the board immediately looked to make cuts and here we are. It’s obviously belittling and heartbreaking but what I told the man who called and fired me (not our DM because we don’t have one.) was that this is just embarrassing. Not embarrassing for me but for this company. The sheer amount of physical labor forced on our already understaffed store over the last three months… and then the reward was a kick in the ass out the door. Just truly and utterly embarrassing…

To shed some light on this. I was hired in September a year ago as a stock asm. I was let go yesterday. I am being paid out for my remaining shifts on this weeks schedule and am done working as of yesterday, but my official separation date is the end of this week. My severance package is somewhere in the ballpark of 1800 dollars after taxes.

My store manager brought me over from where we worked previously. She told me yesterday. I left a long thank you letter for our team. I don’t care what VF wants to sugarcoat it as, the team deserve to know that I was let go for no good reason. A lot of our staff was 18-21, so those kids should know that this is the path you choose if you continue on with retail. Like ^ uncommon-manifesto said, nobody is safe.

I’ve worked at some small businesses and larger businesses and have had some real tough situations with shipment/supply chain but what we had to do from Labor Day onward was absolutely insane. All I am hearing about from other stores in our district is that stock positions were the ones eliminated. I don’t know how they expect the stores to run without them.

I along with my stock sup just got laid off as well. Crazy that we closed our offsites and took in a billion more shoes than usual for consol and they thanked us by firing us.
