The next time I am in the market for a job, I will be doing this.

Four panel comic. The first panel hows two people across a desk. The person on the right says: "I really like your resume. What are your salary expectations?"
Second panel: the person on the left holds up a paper chart and replies, "I offer a variety of plans to meet your needs. Choose the plan that works best for you."
Third panel shows the chart with Basic, Standard and Premuim plans. All plans include 40 hours per week. Email increases and poop breaks decrease with monthly cost increase. Overtime not available in Basic. Personal number and working with a smile only available in Premium.
Fourth Panel: Person on the left adds, "Choose the plan and enhance it with optional add-ons. Sign up today and choose from several payment options."

@teruterubozu A young friend was put on the waiting list at one of the colleges he applied to. He immediately wrote their admissions office to say he had put them on *his* waiting list. He did get in, but didn't go there.

@teruterubozu A couple of years later you can do the "Broadcom option" and put an extra zero on the end of the charges for the same plan.

@teruterubozu And you cannot cancel the plan early even if you don't want to use the services anymore, right?

@nina_kali_nina @teruterubozu of course you can, just call our automated customer service line and explain to the AI phone tree why you are cancelling...

Max

@nina_kali_nina Oh no, of couse you can cancel at any time!*

*) early termination fee of 50% of the remaining balance of the contract applicable. fee has to be paid as a lump sum payment.

@teruterubozu it's interesting that not even in a humorous comic can some people imagine a work week with less than 40 hours.

@teruterubozu omg I have been thinking about doing something like this on my website for MONTHS. Because honestly, it literally is a subscription model to labor for companies :D

@teruterubozu They are going to ask about those add ons, who am I kidding? I also need to know

Tell me, what are your add ons?

@teruterubozu and after every year a new "we've updated our policies" (i.e. reduced hours per week) to keep up customer happiness" ;-)

@teruterubozu I wonder if this is how finantial UX designers do it

@teruterubozu
On some countries, overtime is charged per extra hour, and sharing personal phone is legally out of the question

@teruterubozu Or you could join a union and they'll do the negotiating on your behalf.

@teruterubozu I love that the hours per week stays at 40 for each tier
