the issue with giving someone eternal office work as a punishment is that you cant have them fired without ending the eternal office work, and being dead presumably they cant starve to death, so if they just start slacking off and ignoring their “job”, what are you gonna do?
That’s the whole point of Sisyphus. He could stop at literally any time, he could slack off. No one forces him, except by virtue of the fact that there’s nothing else for him to do. That friction between “I don’t want to do this anymore, it’s pointless” and “but doing nothing is more miserable” is one of the biggest absurdities in the myth.
Have you not heard of “fluffy fingers”? Its what HR represenatives do in offices to enslaved employees. It’s when you tie the employee up with handcuffs and ropes, and tickle their feet for their whole lunch break.
…not that I ever got fired from my job of HR representitive for inappropriate behavior…
He should have kept working in the office naked.

Have you watched the show Severance? Excellent dive into that question and more.
Never heard of it to be honest
