Gone are the days of dull, lifeless cubicles and fluorescent-lit offices that drained the soul out of workers. Modern workplaces now boast open floor plans, warm breakout zones with bean bags, coffee stations that rival high-end cafes, and even game rooms to de-stress.
Yet, in the middle of the ergonomic chairs and productivity apps, the workload hasn’t necessarily lightened, only the way it’s packaged has evolved. Despite the shiny exteriors and wellness programs, workplace culture isn’t always a dream. At some offices, unspoken hierarchies, passive-aggressive emails, and unrealistic deadlines make survival feel like an extreme sport. There are managers who micromanage every move, colleagues who love office politics more than their actual job, and the constant pressure to hustle like a machine.
However, even in the chaos, there’s always a silver lining, be it the friendships formed over coffee breaks, the satisfaction of nailing a tough project, or simply the paycheck that lands in the account at the end of the month.
