Exactly. They even hinted about those "innies" who don't get to leave on lower floors. The ultimate goal for someone like that would be live your entire life (innie and outie). I thought it would be a great way to talk about in a work environment its workers harming workers for the profit of the nameless faceless ruling the class. (i.e. the board of directors who never talk or may not even be there.) They are middle management so they are just workers (even better if they were innies) themselves.

Also what kind of cool twist would be Harmony Cobol waking up from a "coma" when she was fired without any knowledge of what she did for the last few years. Would tie really good with the "She's Alive" at the end of the first season to show how Lumon has that power to disappear and reappear people.

Also I get the impression that (gunna use spoilers now):

spoilerThere was a bit of a rewrite with Harmony's character. I don't think she was originally written as the actual person who made the chips (who Lumon then stole the work from and reassigned her to be some middle-manager). Her actions and the company's actions to her in S01 don't make much sense in light of that plot reveal. She'd be a major risk to the company if somehow left off the leash.. yet they just let her go just assuming she won't reveal everything? What's to stop her from driving straight to Mark in that moment and telling him all about Gemma?

(Although I have some misgivings beyond that regarding her S01 firing)

That makes a lot of sense. It did seem a little odd with that plot reveal. I agree that it was odd.
