After hearing so many stories from numerous Hes and Shes, and encountering countless funny events in different places by oneself, it could easily be concluded that office is a hideous place by nature, regardless its scale.
We face different archetypes. Bosses are invincible in every aspects except computer. Secretaries are public enemies, yet they are de facto appraisers of your performance. Co-workers, for nicely nurtured ones, would be nice on leisure stuff. Nevertheless, while handling business tasks, even Mr Nice guys would become bloodhounds, pierce vulnerable prays into pieces without regret. And normal co-workers are bloodhounds of normal breed.
Justice could hardly be seen to be done in office. The most notorious cheat in it is something called appraisal. For somebody who is to be cautioned, his weakness in the qualitative aspects would never be overlooked, no matter how much has he earned for the company. Contrastingly, for loved ones, even she made no client happy, she must be an excellent team player. Appraisal is one of the most outrageous representations of manipulation.
You could see all sorts of thing in office but fun. Dealing with people is something beyond discussion. When we just look into the job itself, there could hardly be any glimpse of likable object. The subject may varies, the whole process of doing any mission is rather similar. "Plan -> Do -> Check -> Act" is the Utopian way of management. We just do anything bosses tell you to at the specific moment.
So, anybody looks for a new job, in the hope of having a better work life, is just another "Catcher in the Rye".
