only chinks find comfort in cubicles
We just moved to a new office with an open floor plan where everyone sits at long tables at individual stations with no cubicles. It's great, I can look out the window and see the squirrels playing.
But the stupid idiots I work with want the cubicles brought back so they don't have to see eachother while they're working. I think I'll burn the place down, they'll never take my stapler.
Only white collor desk jockeys like me will understand the greatness of Office Space.
And yes, 2 chicks at once.
>only chinks find comfort in cubicles
That's why they get hired and paid and you don't.
Just because things are worse now doesn't mean it didn't suck. The job was wrong for him, he was happier in the end with one where he could go outside and be more active.
how are they worse? quit watching the news, anon. if anything things have gotten much better.
>wages are worse
>houses are more expensive
>open offices
>every decent job asks for 5 years experience
And a lot more, things are measurably lamer now.
Just because people in the 90s couldn't understand just how much worse things were about to get over the next 20 years doesn't mean that office spaces' commentary on how shitty working in a cubicle can be isn't valid.
When someone punches you in the jaw you don't pine for when you got slapped instead, you pine for when they gave you a handshake instead
Well that's the problem. All those shitty late 90s movies about the middle class is hell are outdated. The middle class is now dying and most people are desperate for a well-paying job and comfy home. Yet the media constantly told us that suburban homes and tech jobs were a nightmare conveniently right before the economy started to get worse in every way. Interesting timing, huh?
>"have" to go to the office on Saturday to do basically nothing and collect another paycheck
If you don't see anything wrong with this then you have nothing going on in your life.
>literally just don't answer the call if you don't feel like it
>go collect money if you have the energy and have nothing going on for you on that day
Yes please.
Lundberg asked him personally.
But he could have just said no.
Lundberg didn't have the power to fire him.
Yeah it's not like he had anything else going. He didn't have a wife or a family to spend time with and his hobbies we're getting drink and watching TV with his neighbor. He is going to be just as miserable being a construction worker especially once his body starts falling apart.
>do nothing
then there's no point to the job.
Jobs exist to get you money
The big problem is even though your basically doing nothing the managerial caste, who also knows you're doing nothing, is intent on making sure you're appearing as if you're doing something at all times and hold a sword of Damocles over your head because not doing anything means you're easily replaceable so they engage in these sick mind games of having to constantly pretend all of it isn't just a bunch of bullshit and doing pointless busywork and if you ever break character and be honest about any of this they take away your livelihood. A bullshit office job, while "easy" on paper is incredibly stressful and soul-crushing for non-hylics.
All he had to do was tell his manager no.
utterly soulless life
>a day in the life of a neet
>get up (doesn't matter when)

>Chick living in a big city, conveniently edits out the 50 dicks a year she rides while pursuing this hamster wheel experience in the name of equality and career.
>heh, i bet she has sex life, too!
sick burn bro you totally owned her
I see your autism prevented you from seeing her wedding ring. But you whined anyway.
Basically outside of Tetris, he didn't have much to do
Even fricking off at like 9am on a Monday with his friends for like an hour didn't cause a ripple.
His job was inherently code monkey work and he was easily able to be replaced.
The whole point of Peter is he was the opposite to Samir and Michael - he was useless and he knew it. This was literally the best job he could reasonably get.
Samir sees it as 'job security' if they knew they'd be working there in 20 years.
The issue is entirely Peter: he's an unfullfilled layabout b***h who didn't want to fix it. He's basically a Jap salaryman. But 'in America'
There's no magical fricking point the movie was making about how shit work is. Even with the original ending.
The message is: if you're a moronic piece of shit then you'll stay that way.
Original ending?
In the original ending he
gets the job with Lawrence but the foreman comes over and behaves like Lumbergh, right down to 'Imma need you guys to dig over there, mmm thanks'
The point was emphasized that it's actually Peter who has the issue because if you remember Lawrence loves his job
that's pretty fricking funny but I can see why they wanted the ending where he's more content
The worst part of being a NEET is the neck and back problems.
>just exercise bro
Being a lazy NEET and exercising don't tend to go along too well.
I've started running a few times a week. Already feeling better and it gives me more energy for shitposting. Going to start lifting and other stuff too.
Interesting. I'm kinda glad they changed it to the happier one.
this is your body literally telling you to get the frick off the computer and move around. And you're ignoring it. Sad. Do pushups in between posts while you wait for the refresh. Squat your body weight while you microwave your food. Cmon you lazy frick
Are you kidding? Being neet is the best thing for being fit.
I'm always at my peak when I'm a neet.
Get to go to the gym everyday and have perfect balanced diet because I have time to cook.
If you are a neet and don't look and feel like a Greek God you are being an idiot. It doesn't even take that much time.
I am glad you have the motivation to exercise it is the one thing I find it difficult so I ended up just getting a job that is physically demanding.
Kill two birds with one stone and its not so bad since you spend most of the night working alone and they don't mind if you use headphones.
Exercising has nothing to do with motivation.
Just like homeless people. Most people aren't neets because they're productive, fictional people. But rejects.
If you've ever worked one of these shitty cubicle jobs, you'd understand why he hated it so much.
It's soulcrushing like nothing you've dealt with before. The stupid meetings, the annoying coworkers, the pointless procedures. As Peter jokes one day he's just gonna snap and open fire on everybody. It's that kind of trapped feeling that drives you insane.
The problem is things have only gotten worse since then. Gen X was rebelling against stability in favor of novelty. Now every bullshit job markets itself as novel - free meals! no cubicles! bring your dog to work! we even have a bar!! - but that only makes it even more soul crushing. They pretend to care about you and your supposed mental health but all it is is just a way to keep you there longer and longer while paying you less.
The worst part are the colleagues who don't see through this and believe what they are doing is super important and they are really invested into each of the meetings
It's better than being unemployed and addicted to fentanyl you clueless XOOMER
Just get a job and don't do drugs homosexual.
What's with Japanese salary men?
If you can't do your job in 8 hours then you're a fricking useless, unproductive cuck. Frick your boss - go home and get laid.
salarymen literally spend half of their work day doing nothing. you're expected to stay super late and not leave before the boss, even if you spend hours just sleeping at your desk not working
Dumb culture, no wonder people aren't having kids
>70s-80s babies really thought this was hell
Lmao, if only they knew.
so glad I have my own office at work
>NOOOOO HAVING A STABLE, EASY DESK JOB AND HEATH INSURANCE IS SOOOOO AWFUL
Did gen-X really? In modern times his job would have been shipped to India
It wasn't stable. They were having layoffs in the movie
they were having layoffs because they spent tons of money to "modernize" with computers, but then used them to do the exact same jobs they were doing before, even if they had been rendered obsolete, and needed to spend even more money to hire third parties to come in and tell them how to use the computers they bought.
That's the thing: it was never stable or sustainable. Everyone who works these jobs know they're just a bunch of bullshit, and everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop and the company to just shut down because it's all meaningless. The only joy I find in going to the office anymore is to fill in my bingo board of having sex with all the zoomer chicks.
office space takes place in the in-between era of updating office work to incorporate computers to automate idiotic/unnecessary jobs. management were all completely technologically illiterate so they'd only buy the cheapest shit they could and created a ton of jobs that were literally nothing but easily automated busywork, that, if an employee automated, would be laid off and their manager would take the credit. management constantly harassed their employees to justify their existence/paycheck. main character's job was completely dead end and about to be erased because of how unnecessary it was, then he would be unable to convince another company to hire him, because he had no idea why his job was even a job, or explain to others what he was doing.
but you keep making these threads to have a wagie-whinefest. not talk about the movie.
