Afflicted with allergic reactions to the workplace, burnt-out employees will develop a rash against their jobs. Beyond the fatigue and beyond the disdain, employment has few qualities—aside from money—that keep workers coming back every day. If only there were some way to cash in on a paycheck without clocking in? The billionaires have seemed to figure that one out…

Alas, until the workforce figures out a cure for the allergens associated with the workplace, we're doomed to have puffy eyes, itchy noses, and a mysterious cluster of hives on our tummy at the thought of unpaid overtime, a 0.05% raise, and a company pizza party. However, it seems that we're momentarily healthier every time our direct deposit hits, reminding us the fruits of our labor are oh-so-sweet.

So if you're losing steam on work today and can't wait for Friday at 5, just keep in mind that delightful bag of cash waiting for you at the end of the dark tunnel. With any luck, you'll actually get to spend some of that skrilla on yourself.
