An urban zombie is a person who works for at least 16 hours a day, usually from Monday to Saturday, without any overtime pay. He/she is from the Big 4 (EY, PwC, Deloitte, KPMG). Just like a real zombie, the urban zombie multiplies by eating the brains, spirit, willpower and a passion of fresh graduates, luring them with words like 'work-life balance' and invisible bonus packages. The only way to cure an urban zombie is called the RL vaccine (short for resignation letter vaccine). However, one cannot simply give the vaccine to an urban zombie, because an urban zombie's heart and mind is full of empty promises and tight deadlines.
