i heard a rumor that there's a patch of wooded ground between NJ Hwy 287 and the Basking Ridge campus parking lot - where legacy mainframe developers are being sacrificed in rituals by senior managers. the rumor is that the staff is led to their isolated ends by 'Alexa', who answers their queries of "Alexa.. where's my seperation package money?" with responses of "your seperation package money is close by.. keep walking.. to your right.. yes.. just behind that big tree.. "
they say the ID tags are collected prior to tossing the mutilated carcasses onto the highway for speeding tractor-trailers to mash them beyond recognition - and that the ID tags are pushed into a drain pipe just off the highway's shoulder.
sorry.. gotta go.. i think someone's calling my name..
"Alexa.. is that you?"
"yes.. please log off and come outside"
