I'm pretty sure my employer wants me to work that day. So, I guess I'm working.
Overview
This is a Reddit comment meme screenshot. The meme opens with the question 'What is your plan if nuclear war starts?' displayed at the top, paired with a stock image of a nuclear bomb mushroom cloud exploding above cloud cover. Below that is a comment from a user named Alan (who has penguins as his profile picture) that replies that his employer expects him to work that day, so he will be working even during a nuclear war. The joke is dark, relatable humor about toxic overwork culture, where employers expect employees to show up to work regardless of an apocalyptic global crisis.
