For some reason, Dilbert, Edward Snowden, and marketing all fused together for this story.

Your thoughts and mine were on a similar theme. Different story though. Yours was cute. I love your play on words. I'm out for the day and will post mine when I get home. Cheers. :)

Could you imagine working in that type of environment? Well it's almost like that where I work. The cameras are linked to the cell phones of some of the management staff and they can check to see if the staff is working in the several buildings on the property. Glad there isn't a camera in my office, but then again maybe there is one I don't know about. It wouldn't surprise me. Great story, I loved how it ended.

This is pretty much how I feel at the end of every summer. https://sandrajjackson.wordpress.com/2016/09/21/writerly-wednesday-time-for-a-change/

All three of us had a similar thought, written with our own unique storyline.
Great show of emotion in your story.

June, you are right. You, Sandra, and I were on the same page. I really like how you portrayed the soullessness I was trying to convey.

P.S. thanks for your kind words on my story

Great story! Your character was right to walk away. Big brother watching every move.
