This ain't no fairy tale, folks. Shrek's stuck in a soul-crushing job at the swamp corp. His boss, Lord Farquaad, is a tyrannical ogre who demands he rake leaves, churn potions, and do backbreaking work for minimum wage. Shrek's wishing of retirement, but with mandatory overtime and zero benefits, it seems like a lifetime away.

• That tried to negotiate, but Farquaad just threatened him with swamp duty for life!
• Don't even get me started on the toxic coworkers. They're all jealous of Shrek's swamp and constantly steal his mud.
• Dude, who would choose to work at a place like this?

But hey, at least he has Donkey for company. That's the only bright side.

This Donkey No Thanks to Corporate Life

This ol' burro is fed up of the 9-to-5 grind. He's been working his tail off for decades, running the ladder only to find himself stuck in a dead-end job. He's dreaming of a life where he can enjoy the simple things. Maybe some hay. Maybe even a a couple good apple snacks.

• She's had enough of meetings.
• No more nap time interrupted by urgent phone calls.
• He wants freedom!

However, Shrek found himself bombarded with appearances and eventually had to take a step back. "Regrettably," he remarked, "I wasn't prepared for this level of attention. It was sort of like trying to navigate a swamp in high heels"!

But then the boss/projects/emails came rolling in like that green ogre/nasty swamp monster/terrible troll, and suddenly my day was a mess/downhill/in the toilet.

• Now I'm just trying to survive.
• Perhaps a miracle will happen before the end/afternoon/evening arrives.

At least I have read more this meme to relate to.

Shrek 2: The Board Meeting of Dreams...or Nightmares?

Deep in the heart throughout Far Far Away's swanky castle, a momentous assembly was imminently underway. The elite council of notables, adorned in their finest attire, scrutinized the room with a mixture of curiosity.

The agenda? To deliberate Shrek and Fiona's recent marriage. Prince Charming, plotting, sat anxiously adjacent to the throne, his stare fixed on the entrance. Fairy Godmother, her smile both ominous, leaned in towards the king, whispering plots into his ear.

The fate of Shrek and Fiona's happily ever after hung in the balance. Would this gathering be a victory, or would it spiral into chaos? The boardroom held its breath.

Shrek 3: Donkey Goes Full-Time, Shrek Stays Swamped

Donkey's need for a big job takes him to new heights in Shrek 3. He's become such a well-known guy that even the king himself needs his help. Meanwhile, our favorite ogre is still stuck in his rural abode, trying to find some tranquility.

Shrek's routine isn't exactly serene though. He's got a whole load of problems on his plate, starting with the coming of Prince Charming who thinks he owns Fiona's heart.

Shrek's going to have to learn how to cope with all this turmoil and maybe even discover his own direction.
