Overview
Listen to the real feelings of us worker ants!
- Human relations: "I've heard that story about 500 times!"
- Workplace: "Um, I'm on my lunch break…."
- Overtime: "Aren't you more energetic than during the day?"
- Drinking: "Don't pass around the leftovers!"
Worker ants all over Japan feel a deep empathy!
- When asked, "Are you okay?" all I can say is, "I'm fine."
- I hate myself because I can't make good use of my days off.
- It's hard to be caught between two bosses who have different opinions.
- I can't sleep because I'm depressed thinking about work.
- To be honest, I'd rather have a day off than a challenging job.
This book will make you laugh and help you heal!
