The formula for Work is F*x, where x is distance taken. So by physicially work formula, why don't we experience any work if we do not make any object move? Is there a specific reason?

Example, I am pushing a table with 10 N and distance travelled is $1m$, thus $W = 10 N*m$. But when table travels $0$ metres, by the formula $W = F*0$ and thus $W=0$; means that we didn't do any work.

So why is that? At the end of the day we did apply force to table?
