It's funny because it's true :D

The guitar hero/GTA low rider dance part got hard really fast for me but I like the mix of all those game mechanics: running around, replugging cables and satisfying customers waiting in the line.

Great submission!

Solid work! The writing is fantastic. Your sense of humor really shines through here. I only wish I wasn't rushing through the line of customers so I could take some more time to read the dialogue. 

The music was pleasant. Did you perform it yourself? It reminded me a bit of Hylics if you've ever played that.  The phone ringing clashes with the music a bit though. 

I found that navigating the office could be a bit frustrating, especially when I would accidentally go down the wrong aisle looking for a computer. Maybe there could be some kind of indicator to point the player in the right direction.

The art was stylized in a way that I personally find very appealing. Reminded me of Yuppie Psycho, another game which takes place in corporate hell.

Overall your game was engaging and charming. Well done, especially for your first wild jam.

the sanity meter is for my sanity because the 8 second music loop.
