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 during minimum wage. Shrek's wishing of retirement, but with mandatory overtime and zero breaks, 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 brag his mud.
- Honestly, who would volunteer to work at a place like this?
But hey, at least he has Donkey for company. That's pretty much the only bright side.
This Donkey No Thanks to Corporate Life
This ol' burro is fed up of the corporate grind. He's been hustling his tail off for decades, running the ladder only to find himself stuck in a soul-crushing job. He's fantasizing of a life where he can kick back. Maybe some sunshine. Maybe even a some good apple snacks.
- He's had enough of meetings.
- Absolutely not coffee breaks interrupted by urgent phone calls.
- It wants freedom!
Swamped! Shrek Says "Apologizes" to That Promotion
Upon a huge response of demands, ogre icon Shrek has issued a public statement to the initiative. Shrek, known for his passion for privacy, became buried by the hype surrounding a new promotion featuring him and his friends from "Shrek"!
Supporters were initially "thrilled" about the promotion's message, which focused on self-love. Alas, Shrek found himself inundated with messages and eventually had to take a step back. "Regrettably," he declared, "I wasn't prepared for this level of exposure. It was kind of like trying to navigate a swamp in a tutu"!
