The use of a common 'POV' format and a simple, direct question made it highly shareable.

Original caption
Corporate America has turned “being productive” into proving that you’re working. Trackers, status updates, dashboards, meetings, Slack messages, recaps… you spend so much time documenting the work that you don’t have time to actually do the work. If you work a corporate job, you KNOW. 😂 corporate America, corporate jobs, corporate life, corporate culture, workplace productivity, corporate burnout, office culture, working in corporate America, corporate women, productivity at work, work trackers, corporate tracker #corporatelife #corporateamerica #corporateculture #corporatejobs #corporatewomen
