This is a little bit like boot camp. We don’t get any visitors or time off before the launch. I suppose that this stage is shorter than boot camp, but apart form a couple of hours the day before launch, my live is controlled by the consortium.
I signed up for it. But it’s scary.
I bring this up because our nanites are beginning to influence our sleep cycles. We sleep a bit less topside, but sleep deeper. They’ve been testing the controls today, and so we’ve all been narcoleptic.
It’s weird to give an employer that kind of control. At least, it is for me. Yadira’s grandparents on one side and parent on the other were immigrants, so she expects employers to be more like that. She doesn’t like it either, though.
Claire tells me that the EU used to have laws against employers doing that sort of thing, but that several of the consortium’s member companies got them scrapped. Doesn’t surprise me.
Raghu didn’t want to talk about it. I think he doesn’t want to speak ill of his employer. I dunno. I guess I expect them to ignore me as long as I do my job and don’t spill corporate secrets. Life and work are separate, and I expect my employer to agree.
