The bottom 'now' section features a modern casual office worker archetype paired with modern equivalents: unfashionable business casual clothing, a plain smart watch sarcastically placed in quotes, common mental health medication derisively labeled 'retarded pills', all work communication via text chat messages, plain healthy 'slop bowl' salads for lunch, constant corporate compliance requirements, nicotine pouches like ZYN as a replacement for smoking since indoor smoking is banned, and work workflows governed by impersonal AI agents. The core joke aligns with the title, implying past corporate work was far more fun, exciting, and free of restrictions compared to modern boring, overregulated office work.
