Modern Work Fucking Sucks.
It’s Monday morning. The first thing you see (yes, before you see your kids, your partner, even your coffee) is a Slack notification.
That Slack notification leads you to a Confluence document, which is supposed to prepare you for the upcoming Zoom meeting.
In the Zoom meeting, you’re expected to take notes in Notion. Those notes? They’ll eventually need to be turned into actionable tasks in Monday and then logged as progress updates in Trello.
By the time Friday rolls around, you’ve done nothing tangible, produced nothing meaningful, and yet you’re exhausted — an entire week spent shuffling bits of information between fifteen different systems, each charging a tidy $15 per month, per user, for the privilege of making you feel productive.
There’s an irony in how modern workplace tools sell themselves. Every single one promises to streamline processes, cut through inefficiencies, and give you back more of your precious time. The pitch has a hook: a single platform to manage all your tasks! A centralized hub for collaboration! But the reality is that no single tool ever seems to be enough.
Your company doesn’t just use one app; it uses all of them. Slack for chatting, Zoom for meetings, Notion for brainstorming, Trello for project tracking, Asana for workflows, and Jira for… something vaguely…
