故事梗概 / 核心故事
A man finds a 'Startup Notebook' — anyone whose name is written inside will quit their job and start a business, but only if they're 35 or older. He writes down his most annoying male coworker, who immediately resigns and opens a ramen shop. Inspired, he targets an insufferable female coworker next — but isn't sure of her age. He schemes to find out: faking small talk about birthdays, sneaking glances at her employee badge. Once confirmed, he writes her name. She quits gracefully and launches a wildly popular workplace podcast. Watching everyone he cursed thrive, he spirals: why is everyone he writes down having a better life than him?
