    The existentialists didn’t agree on much, but they all saw absurdity in existence. Is pushing a rock up a hill any more or less absurd than a 9-5 paper pushing job?

      I think the argument is that the 9-5 is torturous by a particularly direct comparison to sysiphus. Granted, most work is easier than pushing a boulder, but just as life stealing.
