Severance, AppleTV’s show about the workplace, launches a long-anticipated second season on Friday.
While it’s a workplace show, it’s definitely about a different kind of workplace. Employees at Lumon, the company featured in the show, have their workplace memories separated from their outside memories. Their work selves (“innies”) don’t know what their evening and weekend selves (“outies”) do. Their work lives are completely separate from their home lives.
Now, of course, there is something sinister going on, but I don’t want to give away any spoilers. Just know that it’s not a workplace utopia. Having a complete wall between work and home isn’t the panacea the employees were led to believe.
And you should watch it with manager eyes.
