A cartoon bakery worker looks stressed, overwhelmed by a flood of paperwork in an industrial kitchen with a large mixer.

A cartoon-style bakery worker is shown visibly overwhelmed, surrounded by a flood of paperwork that reaches up to their chest — giving the impression that they are “swimming” in it. Their white apron is slightly wrinkled, and they wear a blue hair covering, hinting at industrial food production. Their face is drawn with a comically worried expression, one hand holding a paper, the other propping up their drooping head in frustration. Behind them is a large industrial bread mixer — blue-grey in color with a big stainless steel bowl and paddle attachments. It has a full, open bowl and some flour dust around its base, emphasizing that the system is in error state. The contrast between the inactivity of the mixer and the chaotic flood of paper around the worker drives home the message: they’re buried in paperwork and unable to do their real job. The background includes light blue tiled bakery walls, some pipes, and maybe a clipboard or calendar on the wall with unchecked tasks. The tone is humorous but relatable — a classic case of admin overload in a hands-on job. See more
