A widely resonant workplace satire post: a company stalls its employees for five years — "maybe next year" (2021), "we're reviewing the budget" (2022), "things are difficult" (2023), "please be patient" (2024), "you're a valuable part of this team" (2025) — and then 2026 arrived, implying the long-teased layoffs finally landed. It captures the industry mood around AI-driven job anxiety.
