Embracing the life of a corporate worker can be acceptable. So, let’s push ourselves to the limit! In the Reiwa era, where reforms in work styles are promoted, there is an ideal of accommodating individual needs and embracing diverse approaches to work. Nevertheless, the contemporary phenomenon referred to as "corporate slave" persists. This work style is a remnant of a less favorable past, where employees are overworked and treated like mere resources. Yet, there is an individual who perceives this situation positively and charts his own course as a corporate slave. This narrative delves into the essence of work, following a man who proclaims that relinquishing his personal will and dedicating himself wholly—both physically and mentally—to the company is his source of happiness and the purpose of his existence.
