  > Pro tip: use "win the lottery" instead to avoid the negative connotation of injury or death.
Win the lottery is still quite an euphemism for a more common outcome - getting laid off.

I use "the next person" more often to drive the point.

And there's the worse situation of "burnout" where you still have headcount but they've mentally checked out.
