A mom TikToker has gone viral reacting hilariously and horrifyingly to a Fisher-Price activity center toy seemingly inspired by office corporate culture.

"I didn't pay attention to what I was buying. I don't know what they call it, but I call it 'baby's first cubicle,'" @stealth_revenger said in her December 18 video that's been watched over 1.1 million times.

She showed viewers the Fisher-Price 2-in-1 Like a Boss Activity Center, priced at $109.99 on Target, which features a center seat surrounded by toys simulating a computer monitor, mouse, post-it notes, iPhone holder, and calendar.

@Stealth_revenger pressed one of the computer's buttons, and a recording said, "Per my last email, let's pencil in some playtime."

She reacted with a ghastly expression.

"Capitalism is really popping off today! @Fisher-Price put the Millenials in time out," @stealth_revenger captioned her TikTok while hashtagging it "make it stop."

The top comments of her viral video are people also responding to it in disbelief. "This is an SNL skit. This can not be real!" wrote someone who received 21,800 likes.

"This is a cry for help. Someone check on the fisher price office workers They are NOT okay," another said.

Several commenters wrote that toys like this are "dark" and "dystopian." And, as one person noted, "if my toddler tells me to circle back to something I'm gonna lose it."

Fisher-Price's parent company Mattel did not respond to Business Insider's requests for comment.

A few had a laugh at the toy's expense: "When Gen Z is refusing corporate life so they're trying to get gen alpha early," one joked.

@Stealth_revenger did not immediately respond to BI's request for comment.
