Empty Office Perks Cartoon: The Ridiculous Perk Arms Race

The Scenario: In this empty office perks cartoon, we explore the collision between corporate window-dressing and the ever-escalating demands of the modern workforce.

Management installs a gym to check a "wellness" box, but the perk feels hollow in a high-stress culture. Meanwhile, employees have pushed the envelope so far they’re asking for massage parlours.

It’s a hilarious look at the "Perk Arms Race" where neither side is actually focused on the work.

The Observation: This piece of workplace satire targets the "Entitlement Paradox." It critiques a culture where an empty office perks cartoon is the only way to show how companies use flashy facilities to mask systemic burnout, while employees counter with increasingly absurd requests.

At Kaapi with Ravi, we highlight the comical irony that a gym is seen as "bare minimum" and a massage parlour is the new "reasonable request."

In the modern office, a gym is where you go to sweat out the stress of your job, and a massage parlour is where you’d go to forget you have one—which is exactly why the company only built the gym.
