What are some books about feeling like a cog in a machine?

I don't mean to sound edgy, but that's just the best way I can put it. Books about hating your job and the like.

A lot of Houellebecq's stuff is pretty good for that. It's basically like the quiet angst of post-1968 consumer shit liberal democratic capitalism culture where everyone's a middle manager whose life subtly sucks.

I really believe the topic can open up a lot of interesting commentary in a short story, keep at it :)

Thanks for the suggestion, I wasn't familiar with this author at all but something tells me I'll like him

Maybe pic related ? I haven't read it, though, but was looking for some review about it.

Or maybe Robert Linhart, The Assembly Line.
