Doesn’t it kind of have to be?

I switched jobs to one with long hours, and was known as a “sweatshop”. I thought “As long as it’s a non-toxic sweatshop, I’m coming out way ahead…”

Wearing shorts and sandals in an office is also a dead giveaway.

TPTB play the part. IS/IT does the part.

What coffee cup? _re-examines photo_
