Hey folks, let’s have a chat about being a social media manager. Now, you’re in your office, maybe a cubicle, making a cool $100,000 a year, managing posts, tweets, hashtags, and the whole social media parade. One day you start scratching your head when you realize something interesting – your work, your efforts, are actually…

Job Time
In the miraculous year of 2023 it is genuinely stupefying that we still tie ourselves to the idea of a fixed “work day”. Yes, you heard me right – those mind-numbing nine-to-five office jobs where “being on time” is considered a pillar of character. But folks, I must tell you, I’ve been pondering this, and…
Jobs are Inconsequential
Let’s talk about the dirty little secret no one wants to admit: your job probably doesn’t matter. That’s right, in the grand cosmic dance of existence, most of us are just tiny cogs in a much larger machine, spinning away with no real impact on the universe as a whole. It’s a humbling realization, sure,…
Open-Office Oxymoron
The open office is that place where everybody’s working side by side, without a wall in sight. It’s a space designed for collaboration and communication, where the exchange of ideas flows like water, or so they say. But I’ve got news for you: the open office isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact,…
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…
Transsexual Offices
For all its cubicles, water coolers, and awkward elevator rides, there’s one aspect of office life that’s often overlooked: its inherent embrace of the transsexual experience. Beneath those fluorescent lights and bland carpets lies a world where men and women alike can freely adopt the characteristics of the opposite gender. I’m not suggesting that every…
DEI Grievances
It seems that the corporate world has gone completely bonkers. You may have noticed a strange shift happening during your all hands meetings, and I’m here to tell you it’s not your imagination. Nowadays, it seems like every Q&A session is dominated by DEI grievances. Diversity, equity, and inclusion have become the holy trinity of…
Middle Management
My friend pointed out that despite all the credentials and ability, a big group of us were trapped under a glass ceiling in middle management and had no path or connections to anything better. Middle management is a lonely no-man’s land. Workers hate you for keeping them on task. They are infantile and just want…
Returning to the Office
We’ve come to a peculiar point in human history. It’s a time where efficiency and convenience have taken a back seat to a bewildering nostalgia for the good old days of commuting and cubicles. That’s right, I’m talking about the great office revival – a return to the hallowed halls of awkward small talk and…
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…
