《柏拉图上班记：哲学家的职场百态》 is the comic-and-essay book discussed in 92.柏拉图上班记：用哲学搞笑职场. The episode presents it as a collaboration between [[CharlesPepin|夏尔·佩潘]] and [[JulCartoonist|Jul / 朱勒尔]], built around the fictional [[ThinkReasonLtd|思考理性有限公司]].

The book’s device is to place philosophers inside ordinary company roles. [[Plato|柏拉图]] becomes the intern, [[Socrates|苏格拉底]] the mentor, [[FriedrichNietzsche|尼采]] HR, [[MichelFoucault|福柯]] monitoring, [[WalterBenjamin|本雅明]] copier work, and [[KarlMarx|马克思]] union design. The episode argues that the humor works because the positions are conceptually matched to the thinkers.
