Animated shark sings about workfrom @britausa

[01]

Overview

An animated shark character performs a satirical song about common workplace frustrations. Each verse presents a relatable scenario—like writing a disingenuous email, spreading gossip, or faking happiness for a promoted coworker—and labels the inauthentic behavior as a 'filter,' with the chorus promoting a Brita water filter as a way to 'filter out the negative vibes'.
