RE: Our Last Year is a is a satirical piece in the form of an email, sent by the head of a company that’s about to make some big changes.
It takes a look at work culture and late-stage capitalism by ramping up the “cost-cutting measures” and corporate double speak to 11. It’s familiar – a little too familiar.
Anybody who has ever had a boss has seen an email like this. There’s the faux cheeriness, the “camaraderie” that only goes one way. There’s the business plans that seem so destructive you wonder how you’ll ever come back.
You don’t come back. Then another email arrives.
It’s fantastic to see RE: Our Last Year published, and it’s sitting along some really cool stories in the August batch. Take a look, and read some of the others on your way.
