DISTRICT 431-A—The Municipal Joy Authority has implemented round-the-clock smile monitoring after studies showed workplace happiness levels dropped to an “unacceptable” 87.3%. Citizens failing to maintain regulation facial expressions during business hours now face automatic deductions from their Social Harmony Scores.
Chief Wellness Officer David Mandy-7764 demonstrated the new “Approved Expression Chart” featuring twelve pre-authorized facial configurations. “We’re not asking for much—just constant, visible contentment during all waking hours,” Mandy-7764 stated while maintaining Expression #4 (Moderate Professional Satisfaction). The system has already flagged 2,847 “smile violations” in its first week, with offenders required to attend mandatory cheer workshops every Tuesday.
