Are there any books about everyday office life with no drama whatsoever?

Worked in a place that unironically looked exactly like that. Huge human warehouse full of cubicles (they were grey though, blue would have been nice). I wanted to kms. To differentiate the social ranks only the top brass had their own offices. Mid ranks had their own cubicle. Proles had a group cubicle--arranged with 4 people to a cubicle space--so we wouldn't forget our place in the world. It's the little touches like that that make you homicidal.
I'd rather sell coke than ever work in one again.

>cubicles are bad
I fucking hate faggots like you. Now all of our offices are "open plan" garbage and nobody has personal space or peace and quiet.

There is a special place in hell for people who badmouth cubicles.

Right. At least having your own little space keeps you somewhat sane.
