【 Bruce's Behind-the-Scenes Daily Life & New Character Debut 】
You, who can’t wait to get off work every minute and second, the capable and motivated new junior, and the supervisor who always messages you on LINE after work...
Why do those workplace struggles make people laugh until they cry!?
Clumsy, lazy... and maybe even thinking about quitting?
This is a workplace survival guide to help you, who is exhausted and on the verge of burning out, regain your spirit!
Bruce, who dreads getting out of bed on workdays, deals with mountains of work day after day,
but after a certain weekend, he finds himself in a "burnt-out state." 。
In a panic, he decides to try various methods,
even taking a few days off to travel to the "Carrot Holy Land," Jiangjun City.
Unexpectedly, just a few days into his trip, a work emergency arises,
with not only a bothersome supervisor but also colleagues calling for help...
Will Bruce be able to provide emergency assistance in time, and how will he find the balance between work and life?
【To You Who Never Wants to Get Up for Work】
On a beautiful, refreshing morning, you, like Bruce, are awakened by the alarm clock.
Today is the most dreaded day... Monday.
【To You with a Mountain of Work】
As soon as you open your computer, unread emails keep popping up,
there are documents that need to be confirmed, customer complaints, and even spam.
Why is it that you can never seem to reach a day when you can leave work on time?
【A series of nihilistic quotes! Expressing the daily life closest to office workers】
✦ Waking up early allows for many things, like turning off the alarm clock ✦
✦ What I need is not the company's care and love, but money and vacation ✦
✦ Even without dreams, just living well today is already great enough ✦
About Bruce
▏MONDAY BRUCE ▏
Created by designer Phoebe in 2021, it was produced as a blind box toy by Toys Alliance in 2022.
Due to Bruce's cute appearance that reflects a sense of world-weariness about work, many office workers resonate with it, making it quite popular among them since its release.
Introduction To The Author
▏Phoebe Fu ▏
After graduating from university, this white-collar worker has been navigating the professional world for several years.
With each passing year, she becomes more entrenched in the typical office grind. She channels her feelings and observations of daily life into her art, symbolized by a rabbit character. Through her work, one can feel the disillusionment and helplessness experienced by office workers.
