Multiverse Employee Handbook is like something from the Time Variance Authority, the Adjustment Bureau, or Everything Everywhere All at Once - with a few shades of Severance

I like these themes about the seeming absurdness and banal transcendence of capitalist systems and work today. Fight Club also echoes.

The TVA comparison is spot-on, bureaucracy across realities is universally soul-crushing. Severance's work/life divide feels like our quantum break room that exists in multiple states (you never know what you’ll find in the fridge). And yes, Everything Everywhere captures that cosmic-meets-mundane vibe I'm after. Corporate structures and cosmic physics share an absurd truth: both function through rules nobody fully understands but everyone pretends to follow

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the riff and associations. Have you see TAB ? Do you feel there's any Fight Club connection? If you haven't seen either (for a while) they are definitely worth a rewatch!
