I work in corporate America...I wouldn't use the word "easily", but I can go with "frequently amused".
Seriously, you get so much stupidity from management, you HAVE to be amused. My three recent favorites:
1. Got this long email from the CEO about how wonderful we all were and how much he appreciates all our efforts (blah blah blah). To show us, we're all getting a $400 bonus (after
taxes, since bonuses are taxed at a higher rate, it would be about $250). HOWEVER, you have to make under a certain amount (a low amount), be with the company a year, be full time..and a whole pile of restrictions. Then you find out they're putting it in a 401(k) for you. Oh gee...thanks so much..I feel soooooooo appreciated...oh wait...95% of the company didn't qualify.
2. Another email about how wonderful we all are...comes out the same week they do a 10% cut in staff, and announce they are off shoring as much as they can. Doesn't that just make you feel so special?
3. Then a senior executive type asks in an open meeting why we don't trust our management enough to tell them we're unhappy, once they get the results of the employee survey. Ahh..geee...I wonder. Can you say...my job just went to Dubai?
So, if I'm not amused, I'm going to get really depressed. I prefer amused.

by ignorance, arrogance, narcissists, egomaniacs and stupid people, yes. observing those traits in others i find those qualities very amusing. very amusing indeed.
