Calm was supposed to protect us.

That’s what the company said when they introduced The Perfect Employee Program — a wellness upgrade designed to help frontline workers stay calm under pressure, ignore abuse, and keep stores running smoothly.

And at first, it worked.

Customers stopped complaining.

Employees stopped pushing back.

Efficiency skyrocketed.

But something else disappeared too.

Anger. Doubt.

The ability to say no.

As emotions were suppressed and peak season arrived, the system stretched itself thin — until one small failure exposed everything it had been hiding.

No rebellion.

No warning.

Just a public collapse that couldn’t be explained away.

This dystopian audio story explores what happens when calm becomes mandatory, consent becomes optional, and efficiency matters more than being human.
