“What am I doing here? It’s a miracle I exist at all, and of all the things I could do with my fleeting time on this floating rock, I decide to spend most of it sitting in a fake office with fake people doing fake work. It’s completely absurd.”
Fresh out of university and sick of working at a supermarket, Max Parker scores a job at a digital marketing company writing content. But as time goes on, he realises the corporate world is built on phoniness, unreasonable KPIs and hollow promises. Will he get out with his soul intact? Or will the oppressive CEO get the better of him?
Work is a semi-autobiographical tale that will resonate with fans of Charles Bukowski, Joseph Heller and Douglas Coupland.
