Produced by Caruso Company.

Caruso Company teamed up with Slack and director Syra McCarthy to create Work Is Broken, a cinematic, tongue-in-cheek look at life inside the modern office.

The film unfolds over the course of one very familiar workday—where nothing quite goes according to plan. A cast of everyday office workers battles glitchy tech, disconnected tools, and systems that seem determined to work against them. Log-ins freeze. Emails vanish. Texts pile up. Productivity teeters on the edge.

In this slightly absurd universe, small technical hiccups snowball into full-blown workflow chaos—the kind that makes you stare into the middle distance and question everything… or jump from your desk chair and run screaming. Then comes a simple idea: what if work actually worked? Slack suggests another way.

We hope you enjoy the ride.
