Yes, I get what you mean, but the thing is that everyone already knows what that's like, or it's the impression that I get, most people are already wagecucking their lives away at soulless dead-end jobs to barely make ends meet and no prospects of a real future, and there's a lot of "work is pointless" internet discourse about this already. So at most what you get is "okay, this is familiar to me or some people I know, now what?" Unless you can come up with some kind of satisfying conclusion for a story like that, it just doesn't sound all that interesting to me. It's an everyday scenario for too many people.
Hinako's personal story and the time period it takes place in are much more interesting to me because it's not something most people are familiar with anymore. Just look at the reaction of the average 20 year old who's been raised by the internet, who thinks Hinako's situation is just fairy tales that could've never happened in their first world countries. I also believe Americans, who tend to be extraordinarily ignorant about the rest of the world, and do most of the shitposting around SH f, have a harder time understanding it than European or Asian players from countries where things like arranged marriages were (and still are in underdeveloped countries) not out of the norm during post-war eras. To some extent their reaction is understandable, because as far as I know the subhuman concept of marrying your own daughter to a stranger from a wealthier family out of poverty, as if she were an exchange currency, has never been ingrained in American tradition.

But anyway, on the topic of office horror, there's a little story game called Yuppie Psycho which takes place in an office building and your post reminded me of it. I don't exactly recall the story anymore but I do remember liking it enough.
