Performative Exhaustion™

When suffering becomes currency, saints are minted from sleeplessness. A startup sacralizes an Exhausti-Score that monetizes visible damage; a status-addicted manager fakes martyrdom until a true believer forces the system to show its teeth.

Turns hustle mythology into a metricized morality play, translating burnout into a public market of pain. Reframes workplace prestige as algorithmic blood sport, harmonizing satire with character stakes via the shifting leaderboard and the HR-serene surveillance of WOKE. Mutates across platforms—premium series core, sketch micro-formats as pressure valve, and anti-brand extensions like Performative Rest™—without diluting thesis. Positions as zeitgeist scalpel with repeatable season logic and meme-ready iconography (Nap-Caps, Vulnerability Summit).
