I have not read any of these yet but two of them were on my long list for my May list of short works: The Employees and Convenience Store Woman. So I may get to them this month! Another workplace novel that I enjoyed was The Circle by Dave Eggers.
Oh amazing!! I'm so glad to hear it– do let me know what you think if you get to them! I will add The Circle to my list, I have never heard of it! Thanks for reading
Also your list reminded me of the show Severance on HBO. It is not based on the book you mention but it has a similar dystopian feeling. The characters work memories and home memories are separate, so they don’t think of work at home or home at work. But of course: conspiracy. I kept falling asleep while watching it though, and thinking it would be better if it were a book… so I can’t exactly recommend it but my partner really liked it.
YES!!!! I've seen it and loved it... though i was initially disappointed because when I first heard it was coming out, I thought it was based on the book! Really interesting concept though (and wouldnt everything be better as a book? 😂)
I’d like to throw out Ripe by Sarah Rose Etter it’s fantastic!
oh great call!!! i read that too and loved it— have you read The Book of X by Sarah Rose Etter? not workplace but loved that!
No but after reading Ripe I need to
I love these recommendations, I've just added "The New Me" to my wishlist! 🤎
thanks so much for reading! if you read the new me, lmk what u think!

Such good recs 😍😍
THANK U SIS!!!!!
I've seen so many rave reviews for The Employees.... Now I HAVE to check it out!
It's really so good... would love to hear what you think if you read it!!
Good lost. I also enjoyed The Work Boyfriend by Rebecca Mardon. More angsty than most workplace rom coms, which I like. And satisfying in the end.
I have not heard of that one! I'll add it to the list! thank you
Love a workplace novel! Several People are Typing is a fun one.
