Regardless of severance discrimination, Dylan’s job interview made me think…

Why would you ever hire an outie who had been severed? Even if you agreed with severance as a concept, as an employer you’d essentially be hiring an outie who has had no work ethic for a considerable amount of time (potentially several years). It’s hard enough to get a job these days if you have a couple months between work on your resume. But what a liability for an employer to hire an outie who literally has potentially years of non work experience. It’s the same issue as women who raise kids and want to go back to work often face. Edit: by this I mean it just can very hard to get hired if you’ve been seen to be out of the workforce for a while.

Just another reason why it’s literally impossible to quit Lumon.

Edit: what I realized while writing this is that being severed is, essentially, an example of Hegel’s master slave dynamic. The masters rely on the slaves to work. But without the slaves, suddenly the master can’t do anything. To showcase any of their qualifications, skills, working abilities, they have to be innie slaves, as the outie master not working essentially eventually renders them unqualified for any unsevered job.
