"nobody wants to work anymore!"
"I don't care if you're being chased by a hellhound, your productivity is down 10% this month."
They would also blame it on millennials
"Millennials killed the portal to hell."
“It was an epic battle, worthy of poem and song, and must be documented to teach future generations the dark truth of our world, but productivity really dipped due to the loss of life so we should surrender to Lucifer next time”
