Job description
Synergex Holdings is hiring. You are not qualified. That has never stopped anyone in management.
Coffee, a flask in the desk, a "water" bottle that isn't water. A little takes the edge off and makes you charming; too much and everyone on the floor can tell. Hangovers, withdrawal and crashes are all part of the job.
Coworkers, HR and security notice the smell, the red eyes and the third bathroom break before ten. Mints, eye drops and cologne buy you time. Three write-ups and you're escorted out with a box.
Do the work, or delegate it, bribe the intern, steal finished reports off the printer, blame someone, or just hold Look Busy when the boss walks by. Your review only measures what people think you did.
Sort the mail, reconcile spreadsheets, clear printer jams, patch the server room, build a slide deck, survive the meeting. Being buzzed changes how every one of them plays.
Wake up in Maple Hollow, raid the medicine cabinet, drive through town to Synergex Tower and clock in by nine. Cops patrol. Rideshares cost money. Happy hour at The Copper Tap costs more.
Priya does the work for favors, Kyle the intern can be bought, Tasha talks, and Chad from sales wants your job. Every Friday is a performance review.
Sweet spot: perks. Wasted: obvious.
At 100, HR writes you up.
What your boss thinks you did.
Paid daily. Spent nightly.
Career path
Each promotion unlocks a new desk, harder tasks, more people watching and a story mission. The perks get better too: a parking pass, a company car, a bigger house.

Adults. It's rated Mature 17+ for alcohol and drug use and crude humor. It's satire: no real companies, brands or people, and nothing sexual.
