This is a very accurate representation of how it feels to work today ngl, the machine used to be well oiled and functioning, now it’s just mashed full and jam packed with workers doing pretty much useless things all day until there are too many and then the CEO making 45 million dollars a year comes in and cleans out the gears.

The CEO making 90 million dollars a month apologizes profusely that the gears aren't grinding people painfully enough and then has somebody else randomly fire 10% of the workers, the gear cleaners being the first to go.

It immediately reminded me of the scene in Modern Times where Charlie Chaplin is swallowed whole and chewed up by factory machine cogs as an allegory to the drudgery of capitalist employment.

You should watch Severance, it conveys the same message and has a similar artstyle in the opening credits.
