New work trend

We've noticed that a surprising number of people are quite emotionally vacant at work, which is often annoying. They have a capacity to separate their "business side" from their "social side" so definitively, that they begin to seem like two different people. Since we are most accustomed to seeing them in a work environment, when they become social it feels quite awkward and insincere. After one of these rare social encounters, they invariably go right back to business mode without missing a beat. In tribute to their programmed nature, when one of these types enters the office I have taken to softly singing: "Domo arigato (insert name here) Roboto".
