Episode 6 of Workplace Chaos — and this week we dig into the most common office trap nobody warns you about: the three-year mark.
Why does nearly every job feel urgent at first, steady through year two, and then suddenly unbearable by year three? We break down the psychology of tenure burnout, the hidden ceiling most mid-level employees hit around the 36-month mark, and what career research actually says about the difference between jobs you can grow in and jobs you have already outgrown. Along the way, we cover six other lesser-known office disasters — the open-plan trap, the meeting-after-meeting spiral, the manager who forgot what their job is, the coworker who performs competence, the over-honest feedback loop, and the project that quietly drifts for years.
This episode is part sketch, part diagnosis, part survival guide. If you have ever felt the strange pull of your calendar and wondered what you are doing with your life — this is the episode.
