Work hard towards your goal🙄

This is a short comic strip (likely from a Singaporean or Asian creator, given the style and watermark “comicVid.sg”) that tells a sarcastic, motivational story with a twist. It contrasts two possible life paths for women, mocking the “girlboss” narrative vs. the reality many face.
Here’s the sequence and what it’s really saying:

Panel 1: A tired-looking woman in a suit working late at night (11:30 PM), sweating, clearly overworked.
Panel 2: The same woman celebrating a big upward-trending graph — she’s successful at her corporate job!
Panel 3: Split panel — Left: a girl in school uniform studying hard late at night. Right: the same girl (now grown) working a low-wage fast-food job, serving customers.
Panel 4: The corporate woman, now older, crying while holding a trophy, standing next to a rich-looking man and his pregnant, elegant wife (implying she sacrificed family/marriage for career).
Panel 5: The girl who didn’t pursue intense academics/career is now happily waving goodbye to university — she didn’t go. Another girl (presumably a former classmate) is crying enviously.
Panel 6: The non-university girl is now crying over a test/paper with “00%” — but wait, she’s the teacher grading it! The student (likely the former high-achiever) is the one who failed.
Panel 7: Flash-forward: the corporate “successful” woman (now in fast-food uniform) is serving the other woman, who graduated but ended up in a dead-end service job.
Final Panel: The original hardworking corporate woman (now middle-aged) receiving an “Outstanding Staff” award… at the fast-food chain. She’s smiling modestly while the audience applauds.

The Punchline / Message (sarcastic & dark humor):
The comic is saying:
“Don’t kill yourself studying and climbing the corporate ladder chasing ‘success’ — you might end up burnt out, alone, and still working a low-status job anyway. Meanwhile, people who took easier paths in life sometimes end up just fine (or even better off).”
It’s a cynical take on the “empowerment” trope of “work hard, sacrifice everything, become a boss lady” — showing that in reality, that path can lead to loneliness, exhaustion, and ironically, the very service jobs feminists often mock.
Very popular in certain online circles (especially among trad/anti-feminist communities) because it flips the usual feminist comic trope on its head. Instead of “don’t get married early, chase your career!”, it says the opposite: all that hustle might have been pointless or even harmful.
In short: a savage parody of girlboss culture.
