There is a bunch of manga called Seinen (young adult) or Gekiga (adult). Where are the animes for that? I want an anime about the struggles of being a Japanese salary man working for a difficult company with office politics and his struggles to pay the bills.

Yeah, aging out of it brought me into the realm of Dorama and Korean dramas over a decade ago.
I agree with you on what you're talking about. Genre wise, those that are young adults/adults are often stuff like violence, some of it good. Some bleh:
- Aijin
- Gantz
- GiTS
- Black Lagoon
- One punch man
- Zom 100
- Cat #### one (is this considered adult?)
- Way of the house husband
- Ingress
But mundane stuff, honestly I believe there's some surprisingly interesting stuff out there too, but it's rare:
- Bartender
- Planetes
My memory might be a little foggy and it's been a while, but I think these might be not bad as well (albeit more exaggerated instead of mundane)?
- Great pretender
- Yakitate Japan
- Golden boy
TBH, a bunch of this stuff is better off as live action than Anime.
