Now that's some cyberpunk dystopian shit. Corpos drugging up employees for productivity.

the whole idea of a coffee 'break' was created to pump stimulants into workers to improve productivity.

I think it is the unintended side effect of taking a short break which actually increases productivity.

There are studys that show that constant coffein consumption just make being caffeinated the new normal.

This is why my days are mostly breaks anymore. You should see how productive I am!
