PHOENIX — It’s unnatural, complained fellow employee Mark Stevens. “She actually looks forward to Monday mornings and volunteers for projects. We suspect she’s either lying, medicated, or possibly an alien.” Kim, who works in marketing for a mid-sized insurance company, has been caught humming at her desk, bringing homemade cookies for the team, and using phrases like “exciting challenges” unironically. HR has scheduled a mandatory workshop on “Maintaining Appropriate Workplace Cynicism” to address the growing morale crisis caused by Kim’s suspicious positivity.
