Brink of frustration = the system they implemented generated enough frustration that an article was written about it.

I’m worse at my job at the office. There are more distractions and I get less done

"Brink of frustration?" Heavens! What's next, discontent? Anger, even? Perish the thought!

Most are required to log at least eight hours a day, five days a week, on-site.

This is what business has been in america this millenia. Its the engineering bridge building competition where once you bridge can hold the weight you peel of the structure bit by bit because you don't win unless it collapses but just barely.
