We call this "a career." And no matter how many motivational quotes your boss emails you, deep down we all know the real reward for hard work is just more work. The only genuine joy comes from secretly watching colleagues fail slightly worse than you or witnessing the printer jam when someone else urgently needs it. But we’re all stuck in this corporate hamster wheel, dreaming of lottery wins or early retirement while reality hands us performance reviews and passive-aggressive emails.
