Warhammer 40K Space Marine does this with “even though we are invaded by both Orks AND Chaos, doesn’t give you an excuse to stay home. Get back to work.”
Imagine corporations building dreadnoughts to keep workers working even after death.
If that were possible, it would absolutely be reality.
Imagine having to wake Brother Jonathan, the Sr. Sysadmin who has been slumbering for 100 years, because the ancient VBA script powering the data collection for the accounting department broke down.

Well after his success with the fire thing, Prometheus just became a total slacker with the bird eating insides bit, and that’s largely the only legacy he had left.
You wouldn’t want to be known around the office as a regular Prometheus, would you?
So make sure to come in an extra 15 minutes early to get in front of your workday, and if the birds are taking too long ingesting your intestines, be sure to call ahead.
“Ya’ll peasants are fuckin’ with my stonks.”
