   short sci-fi horror story follows:

   * Hello, we've called you to HR because we've detected you have been stressed at work.

   - Sure, some... overwork status after you reduce headcount, but nothing it isn't being managed with the hierarchy chain.

   * Glad to know. Be sure we, as a company, endeavour to have a stress-free workplace. You will be put in a Stress Workplace Reduction PIP, just as a formality of course; since you mentioned you have taken the appropriate steps to reduce stress you should pass the PIP, no need to stress about it! See you in a few weeks.

   - Er... Thanks......?

         It wouldn't be right to fire her after she finds out she is pregnant.
