Your work life has improved a lot in quarantine. You work from home, free to get up and snack as much as you want—with no one there to judge you if your “snacks” look more like full meals than actual snacks. All your meetings have been audio-only, so you can dress however you want—and as you’ve gained more and more weight, the lack of a dress code has been essential. You don’t fit into any of your business clothes anymore. You can barely fit into your biggest pair of sweatpants.

Your work life has improved a lot in quarantine. You work from home, free to get up and snack as much as you want—with no one there to judge you if your “snacks” look more like full meals than actual snacks. All your meetings have been audio-only, so you can dress however you want—and as you’ve gained more and more weight, the lack of a dress code has been essential. You don’t fit into any of your business clothes anymore. You can barely fit into your biggest pair of sweatpants.

Then you get an email from your boss, telling you the CEO has declared that work-from-home privileges are about to be rescinded and all employees must transition back into the office. Now you’ve got a big, big problem (pun intended). You can’t go back to the office now, not without some serious accommodations.

When you broach the subject with your boss, she won’t stand for your attempts to be vague about what the problem is. She schedules a Zoom meeting and demands that you attend and explain yourself.

This clip features a very subtle brand of humiliation, one that’s delivered in a matter-of-fact tone interspersed with hints of condescension, almost no actual laughter, and a couple of brief silences designed to make you squirm around on your fat ass in shame.
