The Ladder to Nowhere
In the sprawling metropolis of New York City, amongst the steel-and-glass behemoths that pierce the clouds, the Great Ladder of Corporate Ambition beckons. It’s an electric invitation, illuminated in neon blues and dizzying golds, flickering for all who seek success in that grand capitalist play. “Climb that ladder!” they tell you, with eyes gleaming and…
Maximizing Employment Benefits
I’ve been thinking about jobs a lot lately, and the absurdity of the whole charade. We live in a society where work is painted as this noble, honorable thing. But in reality, for most of us, it’s just selling chunks of our life for a paycheck. So if we’re going to trade our precious time…
Job Had Such Patience
In the ancient scrolls, there exists the tale of Job, a man of faith and righteousness, beset upon by a tempest of despair and calamity. His plight, they say, was a divine test, an examination of his fidelity in the face of the abject void. From his story was born the saying, “Job had such…
Post Hustle Culture
Through the deep and shadowy hallways of cultural progression, the death knell tolls for the Hustle Culture. Critics, who roost like carrion birds on the fringes of society, have declared its end. An end as inevitable as a setting sun, an end borne of the insatiable gaze of those who covet wealth but shirk from…
Revenge Narratives Celebrating Resentment
In the labyrinth of the modern media landscape, one narrative has begun to occupy a disproportionate amount of space: tales of workplace revenge. These are the stories where the underdog employee, seemingly oppressed by the gargantuan machinery of corporate greed, strikes back in a satisfying display of defiance. On the surface, they are tales of…
Kaczynski on AI
Ted Kaczynski was a guy who was ahead of his time. You gotta hand it to him, the guy was no hypocrite. Here we are, all whining about climate change and plastic in the ocean, meanwhile this guy was out there living in a cabin in the woods. Not a cabin like you see in…
Worrying About Work
I’m about to drop a bomb on your perception of how your day rolls out. Here’s the staggering truth: The average American is dedicating nearly six hours of their day to checking work and personal email. That’s right, six hours! Now, let’s dive into those minutes: 209 on work email and 143 on personal email….
Productivity Theater
Let me tell you about a little something called “Productivity Theater.” It’s performed in your office, and the leading actors are your coworkers. Now, I don’t want to give the impression that I’m against productivity. I’m all for it. I’m just not a fan of the theatrical part. Now, let me set the stage. Workers…
Feminine Rule
The sun rose over the city, casting a golden light over the bustling streets below. The clack-clack of high heels on the pavement echoed through the air as women rushed to their offices, determined to take on the day like a bull charging into the ring. Women were the new demographic majority in the workplace,…
Three Hour Work Day
We are trained to work for 8 hours and eat the time for getting ready for work, sitting in traffic, getting lunch, and eventually driving home. But the 8 hour day is mostly illusion and an old format that doesn’t make sense when considering what actually gets done. Research suggests that in an eight-hour day,…
Compromised to Ruins
We were caught in a vice: working too much, sleeping too little, and failing to maintain our health. Eventually the reaper calls. Waking up too early squeezes available time at the outset, releasing cortisol from the stress of trying to making the impossible fit. You either skip breakfast or eat garbage of some sort, not…
