Allow us to introduce Suzanne C. Anthony: writer, satirist, and self-proclaimed “chief of sarcasm.” Suzanne has carved a niche for herself as the world’s foremost authority on pointing out the absurdities of the modern workplace and the legal mumbo jumbo that makes us all want to scream into a pillow. Her razor-sharp wit and unique ability to turn mind-numbing bureaucratic nonsense into pure comedic gold have made her the go-to person for anyone looking to laugh through their existential dread about labor laws.
She’s the great-granddaughter of Susan B. Anthony, because, of course, she is. “I blame the family genes for my unrelenting urge to criticize every system I encounter,” Suzanne once quipped during a TED Talk, a moment that was so profound it left the audience questioning their own life choices. But Suzanne isn’t just riding on the coattails of a famous ancestor. No, she proudly forged her own path by majoring in Satirical Law at Brigham Young University, where she learned to blend the dry world of legalese with the art of making people laugh so hard they spill coffee on their laptops. The coffee is always cold; the legal documents are always dense.
After finishing her degree, Suzanne decided the world was ready for her unique brand of satire, and so she packed up her life and moved to the charming, yet suspiciously quiet town of Walla Walla, Washington. Here, she graces our office with her sarcastic wisdom, which, let’s face it, is the only thing keeping us from throwing our computers out the window. “Walla Walla? Yeah, it’s the epicenter of global humor,” Suzanne said, rolling her eyes so hard we could hear them from across the room. She’s made her mark here, challenging everything from workplace policies to the universal human desire to nap in meetings.
In her downtime, Suzanne dabbles in hobbies that scream “I’m way cooler than you.” She’s an expert skateboarder, gliding through the streets like a rebellious, high-powered lawyer on wheels. When she’s not skating, she’s living out her high-flying dreams as a part-time pilot. “It’s not about the sky, it’s about showing gravity who’s boss,” she says, while probably planning to fly to the moon just to avoid a Zoom call. When she’s not navigating airspace or pavement, Suzanne can be found fishing and boating on Washington’s picturesque waterways—although, rumor has it, she’s just in it for the Instagram photos.
Despite her love for all things outdoorsy, Suzanne is equally passionate about indoor pursuits. Like, for example, debating the legalities of napping at your desk while writing her next article about the absurdity of “mandatory fun” team-building exercises. “The real question is: why is ‘mandatory fun’ not a criminal offense?” she’s been known to ask after a particularly grueling corporate retreat.
With a mix of humor, intellect, and just the right amount of cynicism, Suzanne C. Anthony is a satirical force to be reckoned with. Her work continues to inspire us all to laugh in the face of bureaucracy and to ask, “Wait, how is this even legal?” And trust us, she will definitely be the first one to answer—usually with a deadpan stare and a sharp one-liner.
