Spez leaves Reddit, very strangely setting you as his successor.
While the salary and benefits seem amazing, when you finally arrive at HQ they bring you to a door in the basement with something written in Chinese on it.
Inside you are met with a room with a single iron chair with restraints.
You are informed that this is the “CEO punishment room” where you will be taken if the majority investors’ instructions are not followed or financial targets aren’t hit. You see dried blood crusted to the drain below the chair.
You are told that they have already picked up all your friends and family for safekeeping - now that you are such an important figure - and that they can’t ensure their safety if you ever give up the role.
It was actually almost miraculous that the higher ups allowed Spez to leave, directing him to select you instead. But those here don’t question orders, they only follow them. As they encourage you to as well.
Finally, they point you to the project roadmap, explaining that it’s now your job to make sure that you both follow the roadmap without exception, but you keep in mind that anything short of their projected financial success will result in extended sessions back in the punishment room.
Next up on the board is to make Reddit moderators pay for the privilege of moderating.

Jesus you’re a dark fellow.
