>le construction job is fulfulling meme
I hate that movie due to the ending alone.
I work from home, make six figures, and spend my entire day shitposting on Cinemaphile and doing cool shit at home. I maybe work 1 hour a day tops, and occasionally need to sit in Zoom meetings. I'm going to try to ride this gravytrain as long as I can, hopefully until retirement.
someone isn't gonna make their points quota for the sprint
I somehow manage to get more work done than most of the rest of the team. I believe the entire company, up to the VP level, slacks off just as much, if not more, than I do. Our sales team is always grinding away like a bunch of wagies, and when it comes down to it, that's what matters to keep the company going in perpetuity.
He wanted to do productive work that wasn’t in a stifling office environment, not eliminate labor from his life and become immediately rich. It’s a message about the fulfillingness of humble active labor, the plan to get rich stealing from the business was a major downfall saved only by the grace of a mistreated arson. It was meant to be a bad idea that was about to send them all to prison, and he realized just doing more sane work humbly was the real best choice
You can find fulfillment in office work. I don't want to destroy my body out in the sun everyday for 1/5th of what I make now just because I had an existential crisis due to being "bored" at my desk job a few hours a day. That's what makes Office Space a moronic movie.
Doubly so when Mike Judge made the movie semi-biographical, but instead of going into the construction job like in the story, he got a cushy Hollywood job. Mike Judge would probably hate his life if he had to work construction.
I work in software dev, and enjoy it. What I don't enjoy is the red tape, HR bullshit, and bureaucratic processes that come with office work. Working from home eliminates a lot of this, but there isn't enough meaningful work to keep me engaged for 8 hours per day.

If you think those things are "all the work" in an office, you either don't work an office job, or you work a shitty pencil pusher job where they just want an ass in a seat.

So just to be clear, you’re arguing ostensibly in good faith that all the work that you can do remotely (the software dev bit) is fulfilling but the shit that actually entails being in the office is not? I reiterate: moron
I will never find fulfillment in office work because most of the ones that make good money are more about kissing ass and going to a million meetings. I just don't have the social skills to do that. It's all politics and theater and most of the actual work seems to be done by third parties in places I've worked. I'm only five years in and can't take it anymore, and the money isn't even that good unless you are willing to move to a bigger city which I have no interest in. Being a low tier office wagie is simply not worth it anymore especially when you consider the student debt required and having to learn most things through experience anyway because school is useless practically speaking
If any of that sounds unbelievable to you, I'm sorry you have a shitty life. Most of the US upper-middle class works from home now and six figures is only an unbelievable amount of money to poor people.
It really puts my life into perspective and makes me feel grateful for what I have, when there are people on Cinemaphile who don't believe its possible somebody is living like I do and that I must be larping.
Some people believe very little. Cinemaphile went apeshit for an entire thread when I incidentally referenced I was on a porch and therefore owned a house

I think a lot of it has to do with NEETs on Cinemaphile believing that everyone else who visits this site must be exactly like them. There's a lot of doomers on Cinemaphile as well, so they don't believe in anything that conflicts with their worldview where everyone is suffering economically and living in overly expensive studio apartments.

Why cope like this? Where do you think six figure at-home software engineers hang out, at the fricking amusement park? They're here on Cinemaphile, this is where they go
I've got a CS degree, but I work with a lot of people who don't. Most of the ones without CS degrees are part of minority groups, or they're Gen X guys who were able to jump in on software dev in the 90's to get experience when nobody had a CS degree.
An easier path is to get a comparably cushy job in something more corporate IT-focused, you just need to get a few certs and work a few bullshit helpdesk style jobs until you move up to stuff like system admin, network admin, and those kind of things. I've known some guys who didn't go to college and ended up with really cushy jobs after a few years in IT. Just need to apply yourself and clock a few years in entry level bullshit.
I did Linux admin work for a while. 95% of it was slow, but that 5% was high-intensity hell. You have to be able to skillfully handle sudden spikes in stress levels to be a sysadmin.
Did you actually manage a server room that's critical for a company?
That's what sysadmin entails, and it's soul-crushing, real work and a dead end, you cannot into programming for that, it's a different set of skills.

Yeah, I was the only admin for about 100 physical red hat servers for a small web startup in the mid-2000's. I'm an autist when it comes to Linux, so the technical aspects were easy for me. The time critical issues like kernel panics on email servers, hacks, and hardware failures were where the stress came from.
I did some sysadmin for an MSP and it was the most horrible experience of my life. I would have rather gone back to retail. Customer Success is where the real cushy shit is because I'm mostly just helping clients use our API and web portal correctly for 82k a year. I only ever look at real coding shit when a client is building their backend to use our services and they need me to look at it and figure out what went wrong. It's chill as frick and I spent half of this week just watching the Sopranos while I waited for my next meeting.
Wow, you're such a master masturbator, with all that psychology figured out and all the presuppositions narrowed out.
Grow some spine, grow some personality, stop being a subhuman!
I produce results and get excellent yearly reviews. When you get older, maybe you'll understand that in the real world results matter more than time spent in a chair everyday.
You can find fulfillment in office work. I don't want to destroy my body out in the sun everyday for 1/5th of what I make now just because I had an existential crisis due to being "bored" at my desk job a few hours a day. That's what makes Office Space a moronic movie.

different people find fulfillment in different ways. how and why is that concept so foreign to you? it wasnt "construction is better than office work", it was that it was the better environment FOR HIM. this is also seen earlier in the film where the one guy is so much happier not in the office, just pursuing his moronic passion project. office work can be very stifling, and statistically it is documented to bring high stress and low joy/fulfillment to individuals. just because you enjoy office work (if your bullshit is even to be believed, lol) doesnt mean everyone does or should. the point was to just get out and do something different if you hate it so much.
>I work from home, make six figures, and spend my entire day shitposting on Cinemaphile and doing cool shit at home. I maybe work 1 hour a day tops
Same here, but it's more like 3 hours of work, and the occasional full 8 when there are deadlines.
I can't say it's very fulfilling, but it sure beats working. I can't believe I get to sit at home and frick off all day while others have to slave for pennies.
I'm not in a hurry to give my wealth away because even 100-120k is not even middle class for a large western city these days. If someone like me can only save about $2k a month (that's with a wife that also works full time), WTF are single wagies and cashiers saving? Best I can hope for is to avoid the slaughter when they rise up, I imagine people like us are fair targets in that scenario since the elites will be untouchable.
you're supposed to work for it and not immediately get handed pussy for doing absolutely nothing you fricking lazy sack of shit lmao. you have no value, and you will thankfully not breed.
do you think in 20 years time zoomers are going to make a film about how working a spreadsheet job from home doing barely anything is somehow soul destroying
I work as a server making pretty good money with mostly early 20s young girls and I want to frick one of them but seems like it might be a bad idea. Thoughts? I'm 35
Someone doesn't have to have fricked a 20 year old at that age to find your 'might' unfortunate. I mean you're probably just daydreaming about fricking coworkers you don't hang out with, right?
How many times do you have to say "my pleasure" per day?
Why cope like this? Where do you think six figure at-home software engineers hang out, at the fricking amusement park? They're here on Cinemaphile, this is where they go
The guy you're replying to probably doesn't understand that oldgays were all nerdy teens posting on here in the 2000's, and it only makes sense a lot of them got high-paying engineering jobs when they got older.
Tech isn't a job.
Huh didn't know that, the guy who signs my paycheck apparently doesn't know that either I guess.
I was NEETing for one year and I was also the healthiest I've ever been ... I recently crammed out a photo of myself from 7 years ago, just before I started my current job ... I have aged like absolute shit. I'm in my mid 30s and I think my life is over, those 7 years I lost I could have used to improve my body one last time and maybe find a purpose in life, they were all wasted on working a annoying office job, some hookers and maybe 2-3 other activities per year.
having a job doesn't mean you are doing anything with your life. you can be the most diligent wagie ever and still have a more meaningless existence than a NEET.
Not really. Tons of men go to work a job they hate then go home to a fat naggy c**t wife and annoying kids in a dirty messy little house and drink beer in front of the tv until they fall asleep. You consider that a life? I sure don't.
