> It was three hours of nearly-continuous meetings, all with the same subject of how bad it was to email a higher-up without first emailing every single person in-between first. There is a famous scene, in the movie Office Space (1999), where the low level coder is constantly harassed about an idiotic memo because he forgot a cover sheet on his TPS reports.. he is reminded of this 3 times and then some by other people.. It's unreal how the "modern" corporate environment, remains the same as it was in early 90s.. [VIDEO]

> I remember people dressing what today would be quite formally in the office I remember the cubes in Office Space (1999) characterising IniTech as depressing (people dropping by without even needing to knock on the door) and soulless, but maybe today's open plan workers think they look like privacy incarnate?

>Filing TPS reports? Idk what that is Boy, are you out of sync with the cultural zeitgeist, or you're too young to have caught this masterpiece: [VIDEO] >but I'd imagine that feels a lot less satisfying than mowing a lawn or trimming some hedges. Satisfying it may be, if it's done as a hobby, but good luck supporting a family today by trimming hedges.
