A TikToker who has never worked in an office posed a question to the 9-to-5ers of TikTok: “What the f#$% do you do at an office job??” She assumes emails and meetings, but how many of those do you really need? And how many people does that really take? And reports, who even reads those? It’s a confusing world to those lucky enough to avoid the cubicle, but TikTokers who know the grind explain it for her. (Sarcastically, of course, it’s TikTok.)

There are the ones who get there earlier and thus get most of their work done earlier so just wanna chat it up with everyone else. And there are the people who get there later and just wanna get their work done and leave, no talkie talkie.

This guy really lays it down, even to the bathroom breaks.
Death Scroll, Coffee, Call Mom
Go see if there are free donuts in the kitchen, maybe get a little nap in. It's pretty hard work, tbh.
You Wait…
Every single day. Until you die…
Get Food & Search the Web for Random Things
This one isn't even a joke, this TikToker legit did this for 5 months.
Drink All the Beverages
You start with coffee, then water, then tea, then water, then more coffee, then more water, then a soda, then water, then probably another coffee.
