Hilarious and serious at the same time. The dialogue is witty and spot on. It pops and crackles.

A smart piece that leaves the reader wanting to know the next chapter for Amy. Martin weaves a tale that, while seemingly outlandish in nature, rings true to those who have been caught in the grind of the corporate ladder. The concept of the a 'banishment room' is brilliant in its own right, but what really makes this piece worth the read is Martin's writing.

A great, quippy piece that feels so familiar and real because the idea of a company setting aside a purgatory room for people to go as punishment to avoid the cost of firing them is just delightful, and there's so much to love about Amy, the Banishment Room lifer who knows how to play the game. I'd love to see a whole series in that room as Diane's pregnancy carries on and the two of them while away the days! Great work.
