Fantasy Golf: The John Deere Classic Preview

I often tell people that, if I ever stop posting these previews, it's time to send help which is kind of a weird thing to put out there but here we are. So consider this post more a proof of life than a golf tournament preview because things are going fine unless you count the fact that corporate overlords are slowly trying to kill me by proving that every single movie and TV show that mocks them is accurate if not understated.   

Maybe if you merged the best of Succession, Office Space and Severance you could come close to doing it justice but you have to live it to truly appreciate the inherent disfunction in devising a system designed to obstruct process while charging those who work in it with the task of making progress. 

We have used the word "sysyphean" in this space before to describe situations akin to pushing a rock up a hill all day only to have it roll back down but this shit is next level. These corporate people celebrate the rock rolling back down the hill and say "GREAT JOB PUSHING THE ROCK TODAY EVERYBODY . . . SEE YOU ALL BRIGHT AND EARLY TOMORROW!!!"
