Oh my Deer God, I've been waiting to post this book somewhere, sometime. Company by Max Barry is the book you're looking for. Look no further.
P.S. Praise Deer God and his antlery wishes
Reminds me of the first line of Max Barry's Company:
>Monday morning and there's one less donut that there should be.
Although the main plot line travels in a much different direction, the opening sentence becomes a significant subplot, in which the character shorted his donut launches an investigation to discover the culprit. I thought it was all fun & games until I actually started working in an office environment, and discovered that grown-ass adults can become absurdly childish when it comes to frosted pastries. I mean... Shit, dude, you can't go buy yourself a jelly-filled for dessert, tonight?
I really, really like Company by Max Barry about the absurdity that comes from internal beauracracy. his Jennifer Government is also excellent, but I didn't laugh quite so often.
Most of Terry Pratchett's discworld series is awesome. Some books are stronger than others and some people will like different character/storyline focuses than other ones. For example, I'm not huge on the Watch stuff, but I love so many others.
In the same vein, Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaimen combine to make the super book Good Omens Which I think most everyone should give a read at least once.
Finally, author A. Lee Martinez has a very Pratchett like voice in his fantasy-esque novels which are always humorous and enjoyable
Sounds like the Maxx Barry book Company
An interesting read if you're into that sort of thing. (Reading, that is...)
