Primary goal is to get to the top floor, defeating all your opponents, topping your manager, the CFO, the CEO, Satan, and finally, the Janitor, who is cleaning up the big boss' old office.
Elevator is out of wack, so have to take stairwells, which can occasionally be blocked by burning couches and shit thrown down them.

It's the great Office Tower of Babel, containing innumerable filing cabinets with documents in every language.
>>43933349
It's the Office of Administrative Affairs of the Terran Hegemony, the single organisation that ultimately governs a civilisation of several dozen planets. The player characters are the five Department Reps that form the Advisory Council, arch-bureaucrats whose authority is in theory second only to the senile and inbred President, but in practice more often challenged by planetary governors with ideas above their station. Their collective objective is to maintain the status quo and hold the ailing Hegemony together against threats from within and without. Individually, they each seek more influence and resources for their department.
The game is Reign. The Office is statted as a powerful Company, and each PC gets control of one of its stats (Sovereignty for the Secretary of Communications, Might for the High Commissioner of Militias), so that any company action requires the cooperation of two officials. they might also have full personal character sheets, depends how in-depth you want to go with it. In practice I see this playing out almost like a LARP - the game takes place entirely in a conference room, with the GM briefing the players on the current crisis, they debate it before deciding what to do and then you roll some dice to see how things shake out during the downtime until the next meeting. Every character has all the cash and spies they could need and a considerable private military but you never, ever play an action scene. At worst you relocate the briefings to an asteroid bunker as the Republican Star Fleet starts bombarding your capitol.

First idea that comes to mind
Your boss is a succubus, turns out she's found a way to drain life force by having her workers doing mindless busywork, sadly this is the best job you able to get in this market, so get your buddies and overthrow her without losing your job or getting security and/or the law brought down on you. Alternatively get yourself a promotion and hope it means you can have some of that sweet sweet life force for yourself instead of it being a euphemism for getting your soul added to her tits or something

Oh my god yes

It seems to have 666 floors, but connect non-euclideanly. There seem to be six completely different skies that it opens up to based on the floor you're on. No one stuck in this office building knows how they got there or how to get out. Anyone who explores too much inevitably gets killed by one of the massive creatures that crawl around the shadows, far too large to fit through the hallways but seem to appear in any room large enough for them. A death cult has appeared, preaching that there are cameras in every floor, watching your suffering and the masters must be appeased.

It's already happened, although it's not office-worker specific. A manga called "Daily life with a monster girl" or some shit. The random manga I picked up and flipped through in the Barnes & Noble started out with a group of big-titty lamia girls giving the main protagonist tit jobs, one-after-the-other. It was basically soft-core porn because for some reason it stopped just short of explicitly drawing all the naughty bits in explicit detail.
>>43935060
>A manga called "Daily life with a monster girl"
I appreciate the gesture, but I posted a greentext with a picture from the manga. I know of it.It's also /tg/s unofficial manga. As much as we may deny it, monster girls are part of our board culture by now.
>It was basically soft-core porn because for some reason it stopped just short of explicitly drawing all the naughty bits in explicit detail.
If /a/ is to be believed it's because drawing ecchi is seen as more legit than drawing full blown hentai when you're a mangaka.

How long have you been here?
The players awaken at their desks to find that the entire office building is devoid of all life and that the layout of the building seems to be constantly changing. A voice from on high starts trying to narrate their actions and guide (read: railroad) them down a very specific path. Deviating from that path results in...shenanigans.
The programmers on the third floor often break out foam pool noodles and cruise down the hallways in their office chairs, jousting to pass the time while they're compiling.
Coincidentally, in order to reach the fourth floor, you must pass through the main hallway. Thou hast been warned.

The party awakens in the break room, the office extends infinitely in all directions. Some people claim to work there, some people claim that the party works there, some people are just as lost and have set up havens of sanity, building townships among the endless maze of cubicle walls, and bland, beige drywall, centering around water colors and snack machines for sustenance and using felt and carpet fibers to create tents to block out the endless buzz of the florescent lighting. Some warlords stake their claim as floor managers, some find a higher calling in a closet somewhere and heed the call of janitorial work.
Main quest involves finding the CEO.

The players are all lesser deaths in the great office of death in the outer realms.
Then have them go on external business, and have them re-enact the deaths of their own previous characters from the opposite side, or having to deal with the unruly ghosts of uppity dead heroes and wizards. The "get in the fucking bag" guy that /tg/ invented is their antagonistic supervisor.

The office is actually a virtual reality prison/art sweatshop. The player characters are kidnapped copies of wealthy mind uploaded artists. As the game progress it becomes very obvious that there is more to their captors than it first appeared. Additionally, these criminals are also running hundreds of permutations of said PCs in order to make more money.
>>43933349
The player characters have died and find that, as a reward from the gods, their afterlife is an eternity of working within the celestial beuracrcy. On the upside, they have become minor gods/divine spirits. On the downside, they now have to deal with the administrative office drama of the gods--forever.

Combat is using office warefare. Paperclips and rubberbands and pencils and pens and such.
The office is endless. So are the stairs leading to different levels (also offices). No elevator.
Some areas of the building are abandoned and not yet rented out by a company.
The companies act like different cities/nations, with managers as mayors, security staff as town guards, maintenance workers as maintenance workers, cafe staff as tavern keepers, and of course, office workers as citizens.
Your cubicle is essentially your home.
Sleep is not required because despite it seeming like hears have gone by, this is just you daydreaming while bored at work.

PCs are siamese brothers/sisters. They just want to pick up a healthcare form. Each one of them has a different bladder/stomach, they also have to deal with the office which isn't accomodated for such situations (stairs too narrow etc.). And of course they have to deal with the bureaucracy itself.

Simple, you're all part of a celestial bureaucracy that regulates reality in general.
Thing is, your position is to pretty much be reality's head administrator.
You've gotta deal with demonic hackers, fellow employees trying to slit your throat in backroom deals, and your boss is starting to get annoyed that your reality lately has been pulling more system resources than normal and is thinking of a format.
Of course, you've grown attached to the life forms generated...
