6 reasons why Friends should be working

1

Friends and productivity are not on speaking terms

They tried couples therapy. Friends slept through it. Everyone else is being productive. Friends? On the couch. Structurally.

2

The snooze button fears ${naam}

7:00 alarm. 7:01 snooze. Repeat until noon. "I'm a slow starter" is not a personality trait.

3

"I work better under pressure"

The pressure has been here for months. Nothing has happened. The deadline was yesterday. Friends didn't notice.

4

Friends's LinkedIn is fiction

"Hard worker. Results-driven. Go-getter." The couch tells a different story. HR has questions.

5

Netflix is not a career

Friends has finished more series than tasks. The ratio is concerning. The watchlist is longer than the CV.

6

This is your intervention

Your friends. Society. Your bank account. Everyone is saying the same thing: get to work. It's time.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Does Friends ever actually work?

Sometimes. But opening the fridge doesn't technically count.

Is there hope?

This is love. Hard, honest, work-related love.

What can you do?
