?? Corporate Inferno: Canto VII – The Circle of Violence (Where Passion Becomes Burnout)
“They ran with zeal through endless nights,
Their inbox lit with cursed delights.
Their ‘passion’ once a noble flame,
Now scorched them in ambition’s name.”
Welcome to the Seventh Circle of Corporate Hell,
Where the Over-Achievers, Workaholic Martyrs, and ‘Just One More Deck’ Soldiers dwell in eternal overdrive.
They were once “passionate.” Now they are LinkedIn obituaries to balance and boundaries.
The Sins:
These are the people who:
? Bragged about “only sleeping 4 hours.”
? Wore stress like a badge of honor.
? Called vacations “career risks.”
They weaponized their ambition and shattered the line between dedication and self-destruction.
You may know them by phrases like:
? “I thrive under pressure.”
? “I’ll rest when I’m dead.”
? “It’s not work if you love it!” (Spoiler: It was work. They hated it.)
The Punishments:
?? The Eternal Sprint
Souls are locked in a perpetual race across flaming treadmills of quarterly targets.
As soon as they near the finish line, a Q4 pivot moves the goalposts.
The treadmill speeds up. The KPIs multiply. There is no water—only cold brew.
?? The Calendar Guillotine
Every soul’s day is scheduled back-to-back with strategic syncs, stakeholder standups, and “quick connects.”
There is no time to breathe. Only to “circle back.”
Free time appears on the calendar, only to be instantly devoured by a last-minute “urgent alignment call.”

?? The Hustle Chant
Echoing eternally in the background:
“You’re not tired. You’re just not optimized.”
“Grind now, rest never.”
“Your worth is your output.”
Each soul repeats these mantras, unaware that they’re already ashes.
The Characters:
? Gary the Grind Disciple: Refused time off for 6 years. Now sends emails from a volcano “because the Wi-Fi’s strong.”
? Samantha the Burnout Bragger: Posts about exhaustion for engagement. Prefers collapse to looking “uncommitted.”
? The Ghost of 5am Club: Appears each dawn to shame those not “winning the morning.”
The Landscape:
This Circle is an open office under fluorescent light, always 2 AM.
Slack never stops chiming.
The coffee is lukewarm. The deadlines are vague.
The performance reviews begin with “You’re doing great, but…”
The air smells of keyboard heat and singed ambition.
No one sleeps.
No one smiles.
But everyone is “very excited about what’s coming next.”
Reflections from the Furnace of Overachievement:
This Circle teaches us:
Burnout isn’t always a failure—it’s sometimes the logical conclusion of unchecked praise for martyrdom.
So, fellow grinder:
Proudly produced 50% by me and 50% by a good bunch of helpful AIs
