Great Sage, surely you don’t want to be laid off for having the worst performance review, do you?
Once the “Heavenly Court’s Bottom-Ranked Performance Review Elimination System” came down, the entire Heavenly Court went into overdrive.
The pilgrimage to fetch the scriptures? Just a key project with an absurdly high KPI.
Sun Wukong, a technical backbone, earned the worst performance score in all of Heaven after logging zero work hours last month.
Tang Sanzang, a project manager parachuted in from above, has to learn to write weekly reports and make PowerPoints in addition to reciting the tightening-headband spell.
Zhu Bajie, a master of slacking off, spends more time studying the “Evaluation Guidelines” than practicing his skills.
Sha Wujing, an honest man, keeps daily work-hour records heavier than his luggage.
From then on, the journey west became a journey through the workplace. The eighty-one trials? Eighty-one impossible performance targets!
Faced with ever-increasing KPIs, booby-trapped procedures at every turn, and a bunch of demon “nepo hires” descending to pad their resumes, the scripture-fetching team has just one goal:
Fight overwork, reject the usual tricks, and clock out on time!
This is the gods’ To Live, and the workers’ ode to their solitary courage.
