They’ll do that anyway if the gym is successful. You ideally want a gym that’s on the verge of collapsing but not backed by any VC
How very German of you.
I understand your point in the context of “switch on” and “switch off”, but the base verb “work” doesn’t have many separable prefix/suffixes.

I’m trying to work what kind of film genre that would be.
Probably a mix between 1950s film noir (read: well-dressed white men in fedoras slapping hysterical dames) and 1970s blaxploitation film (read: well-dressed black pimps in capes slapping back-talking street workers).
