If you've worked in the corporate world for any length of time, you're probably familiar with the soul sucking nature of the work place. There's the promise of shaky pensions, terrible work/life balance, and unlimited pizza parties for underpaid and overworked crowd. Unless you're the CEO's biological child, climbing the ranks immediately with no experience, it's tough to get a leg up and make all the 60 hour weeks worth it. It's not fair that the pubescent teenaged brat that your big boss hired as their "assistant" is making more money than you are– after getting your business master's degree and drowning in debt, it's really encouraging to see some kid be more successful than you are. Oh well, at least when you send emails that start with, "as per my last email", to get a little serotonin boost.
