Chris is experiencing alienation, which is the feeling of being disconnected, uninvolved and uninterested in one's job. This can happen when a person feels their work is meaningless or lacks purpose, and can lead to feelings of boredom and a lack of motivation. It is often associated with modern industrialized societies where work is specialized and workers may feel like they are simply a cog in a machine.
