Book Cover

Office Ennui is a collection of 21 haiku about the absurdities of corporate life, the quiet rebellion of burnout, and finding humor in the fluorescent lights that drain us.

Office Ennui: Haiku from the Edge of Burnout
By Paige Turner

A photocopier meltdown. A “mandatory fun” party. A wellness webinar that leaves you feeling worse.
This is office life — rendered in bleak, oddly hilarious haiku.

Office Ennui is the first volume in a trilogy about corporate decay, where every poem is a small act of defiance against the endless inbox and the soul-sucking glow of your monitor.

Short, sharp, and painfully relatable, this collection offers just enough catharsis to get you through your next performance review.

Perfect for anyone who’s ever:

• Forgotten their password again
• Pretended to look busy on Teams
• Wondered if they were slowly turning into a spreadsheet

File under: coping mechanisms.
