A Rat Race is a term used for an endless, self-defeating or pointless pursuit. It conjures up the image of the futile efforts of a lab rat trying to escape whilst running around a maze or in a wheel. In an analogy of the modern city; many rats in a single maze running around making a lots of noise bumping into each other, but ultimately achieving nothing either collectively or individually.
The Rat Race is a term often used to describe work in general terms, if one works, one is In The Rat Race. This terminology contains implications that many people see work as a seemingly endless pursuit with little reward or purpose, not all workers feel like this, for example it is the perceived Conventional Wisdom that those who work for themselves are generally happier at work.
The increased image of work as a 'Rat Race' in modern times has led many to question their own attitudes to work and seek a better alternative; a more harmonious Work Life Balance. Many believe that long work hours, unpaid overtime, stressful jobs, time spent commuting, less time for traditional family life, has led to a generally unhappier workforce/population unable to enjoy the benefits of increased economic prosperity and a higher standard of living.

@palkisu -ve energy runs high in rat races, the trick is to take tiny pitstops/diversions & join the race again since rat races never end.
