RA Essay Brainstrorming
-
“Around noon my fax makes the sound it makes…” and ends with, “No one pokes their head in.”
Comparable to office workers today, confined and in cubicles
same monotonous job that office workers do and also Janet and the narrators job to be cavemen 24/7 playing a role
-
Countless hours pretending to be "doing work" is the same as the character pretending to be cavemen and doing a awful job at is especially Janet
Then again, what am I supposed to do, rat out a friend with a dying mom on the day she finds out her screwed-up son is even more screwed up than she originally thought?” (Saunders 75).
-
-
The characters are willing to sacrifice to be with their family (Narrator) and revert to keep on "working"
Odd how the narrator struggles to either prioritize his son's well being and not pay attention to his job or do the opposite sacrifice family over money

-
The "Employee Remixing" is symbolic of the corporations not caring about the well-being of their employees
-
The fact that Nordstrom's personality is all pompous and all about money, he tries to convince the narrator to help him out to fire Janet so he doesn't look like the bad guy
"You'll see why they call Benefits Benefits when, every month, ka-ching that option money kicks up a notch. Man we're lucky" (Saunders 71)
"Janet's got some performance issues, what an exciting opportunity for you" (Saunders 71). He is insinuating that the narrator throw her under the bus

-
Do corporations go do shady things to not pay workers enough, or even kill them?
Nordstrom being so on top of the narrator to manipulate him to get rid of Janet is comparable to some corporations who do the same
"I slow down monitoring my rate so that I am pretending to catch and eat small bugs, which seems prudent"
-
Yet the narrator doesnt stop to go check the fax and continues eating fake bugs that are non-exsistent
This can connect back to how some had to create huge sacrifices in order to keep their living wage jobs
-
The narrator hears the fax, yet continued to work
He questions why he's doing his "job" and yet continues to suffer even though he doesn't have a chance to support his family and especially his ill-son
The addition of the new woman adds a level of anxiety to the narrator as if he were to be less qualified for the "job"
Narrator reverts to caveman to own self seamlessly and doesn't know how to prioritize family over work
