Any old fags here work in the corporate tech-industry in the late-90s? Was this film an accurate representation of the bullshit you went through?
I remember the 90s being more based, less-PC (par from the attack on music and video games) and hopeful for the future.
However, I was still in high school at the time and we really didn't give a fuck.
Alot of office settings are exactly like that movie. Even the decor and cubes
Only the tech has changed.
Early 2010's, I worked at an office in the Dallas area, doing financial software for a company. This movie based on that company, nothing had changed.
About right, some places still are, until they get "diversity suggestions"
That's how our offices are now
Office Space appealed to the fear of late gen X and millennials of losing their soul working in a cubicle for a corporation.
Fight Club and The Matrix both used the same trope and appealed to the same audience.
Office Space was only a slight exaggeration of what office culture was like at the time, though. Depended on the company though of course.
Please reveal your age to the data mining OP.
How common are cubicles now? The only office I've worked in so far has none.
This movie is dumb as fuck. OP I swear to God if you post another shit low quality thread I'll fucking cut off my dick and force you to cook and eat it. You are lucky this is a anonymous board. Never fucking post again.
I was a Y2K fag. Dot com hopeful. Stock that would make me rich. Bankrupt. It is pretty accurate. The only fail is that nobody saw through it. We all drank the kool aid.
It's very accurate, like everything else in the Retardverse it's all about rituals, hierarchies and circlejerking and nothing of value ever gets done.
An useless effeminate society made in the image of the (((tribe))).
Its so accurate that once you lose the fear of being fired and literally stop giving a fuck, the more confident and better at your job you become.
I paid off my mortgage and have plenty of cash in the bank to give me 5 years of runway and that gives me peace of mind that I can just quit when ever I feel like it. Freedom
Stop bumping this thread or I'll remove your eyelids and cum on them
this. it had a lot of "thats dunny because its true" jokes about dodging the manager, corporate double speak and how cubicles drive people to neurosis at times, etc etc.
>Only the tech has changed.
it hasn't really changed much either
I was too young when it came out to have worked (I still haven't worked), but I like to think it's 100% real.
Nothing has changed. Especially now that nerds use office servers for mining. Same network speed and everything.
Nightmarishly real to this day
Yes, it's yet another gay jew thread.
Yeah, work is actually that miserable
The only thing I'd say is missing is a guy who is actually passionate about programming or engineering who is there for a month before leaving for a real software company.
I just quit my job in 2020 and it was like office space. On my last day, a top corporate manager sent a news letter about how, 'we're not a fancy company. We're like a hand axe. You have to keep it oiled and work hard but it get the job done." My only thought was, if I have to hire someone to cut down a tree Im hiring the guy with a chainsaw.
Fuck off faggot. Like I give a shit if you like my posts or not.
Why didn't you reply to the newsletter with that comeback if it was your last day anyway?
Some still have them, but the same reason for bringing in cubicles from separate offices is the same reason for "open plan" offices rather than cubicles... cramming more peasants into the same space.
The only thing that's changed is that now you waste time being Agile(tm) by standing in a circle every morning.
You do care that's why you replied. How does it feel to be low IQ
Ah, I interned there as well
Office space was pretty fun but the characters were retarded and entitled. If you don't like your job you can always just leave. Don't piss on the hand that feeds you.
I work as a code monkey as well and it's ok for the most part but there are a few things I dislike (mainly SJW culture spreading through marketing and HR whores and useless hires).
However if it becomes too much I'll just leave. If you stay and just become miserable you have nobody else to blame but yourself.
Thank God for corona. Office jobs are gonna be dead hopefully
Why bother? I was also training my replacement, a boomer, how to copy and paste into excel sheets. Their doomed and they like it. If it was good enough in 1979, it's good enough today. Whatever.
This. The decor has gotten a bit more refined than shitty motivational posters and lots of offices waste a lot of money on interior design but it's dehumanizing in a different way, but the movie was really accurate in terms of bloated middle management in a constant struggle to justify their own existence, consultants attempting to "optimize" shit but make it worse, completely fake pleasantries among coworkers who resent each other
This is the only movie I have watched in the past 2 decades. Fuck kikes.
As bad as cubicles were, they beat the hell out of the open office plan. Open offices grew out of start ups, which had to jam everyone into a small space. I've worked for a company like this. Once a company like Netflix or Facebook grows into a behemoth, they keep the open office arrangement and just make it larger.
Sounds like some cult crap.
