Absolutely — the things women feel at work are often a mix of funny, ironic, and deeply relatable. You’re trying to meet deadlines, join meetings, and just exist peacefully… and suddenly someone’s asking for your number like it’s a dating app. Or you’re told to “smile more” right after pulling an all-nighter on a project. Then there’s the classic: being nice and instantly labeled as naive. It’s laughable, really — if it weren’t so common. But humor keeps you sane.
Some days at work, a woman might quietly wonder, “Is today the day I risk it all?” Especially when dealing with a boss who constantly nags, doubts her efforts, or makes her feel small. It’s not about being dramatic—it’s about the growing weight of feeling unappreciated. She doesn’t want to quit on a whim, but the thought lingers. She wants respect, a sense of purpose, and peace. And sometimes, that means seriously thinking about walking away to find it.
Every day, I find myself liking one more person at work a little less. It’s not something I plan—it just happens. Maybe it’s the way they speak over others, or how they pretend to care only when someone’s watching. It adds up. Slowly, the space feels heavier, the small talk feels forced, and the smiles feel fake. I still try to stay professional, but deep down, I’m counting the days until I no longer have to see them.
