The GLA Worker became one of the most quoted units from Command and Conquer: Generals, the 2003 real-time strategy game featuring the USA, China and the Global Liberation Army. Unlike soldiers, the Worker was a civilian builder who complained about hunger, work and shoes while carrying out player orders, giving the faction much of its dark humour. Clips and voice lines circulated in RTS forums, YouTube edits and meme soundboards long after release, and this clear order response remains a shorthand for reluctant labour among longtime Generals players.
