ITT: characters who are uncomfortably relatable
>>71904644
He's right though, 80s and 90s style of bureaucratic office management was not how humans should be. It's why that kind of corporate culture is rapidly fading and you dont see high rises stuffed to the brim with cubicles and miserable office workers that much any longer.
I heard a story about it on NPR
>>71904730
What dreamworld do you live in when corporate cubicle culture is on the decline? In my experience it's only getting worse, relentlessly so, with absolute no sign of slowing down or stopping.
Apart from the OP I don't get why any of these images are relevant

>>71904752
Every "office" style job is moving away from forced cubicle monkeying because the vast majority of such work can be done remotely.
Which is to say domestic employees are being fired and their jobs are being outsourced to indians.
Literally me
>>71904730
and NPR is well known for having an understanding of the real work world, being comprised of people that have been working on government funding their whole lives with diversity privileges.
corporate attitude is just downright hostile and heartless now. Thats why they want nothing but poo in loos with no soul.

No instead you get open offices without a bit of privacy, where the boss can easily see if you're slacking off. MUSH MUSH, WAGEKEK!

jon favreau's character
>>71906205
By being genuine, charming, having an interesting personality and appealing to her on a human level. They were both stuck in wage slavery, but Peter took a stand against it, thereby reclaiming his humanity. That's what appealed to her. He spoke to the part of her that desperately wanted to just be free.
>>71906342
>npr
>government funding
"No"
>>71906228
He's not even remotely lonely though
basically any character who was foolish enough to remain alone, but is also incredibly lazy, selfish, and stupid...but means well
im changing though m8's, things are slowly getting better
same personality except i'm not rich
>>71906320
>Every "office" style job is moving away from forced cubicle monkeying because the vast majority of such work can be done remotely.
Just because the job can be done remotely doesn't mean these companies are awarding that to their employees, or that it's even more efficient to outsource them. The trend has actually been moving back towards having employees come to the office so they can't have any distractions and are more productive while on the clock.

i wonder if i'd be better off if i was more like reviewbrah. he must find his life fulfilling. i think things like "but he'd never get laid" but i hardly get laid myself. he probably wouldn't get a great job because he's so weird, doesn't fit in and doesn't have an education but then i don't really fit in/am popular or have a great job. i should start reviewing shitty food and see if my quality of life just improves
>>71906205
because it was written to happen by the writers?
You don't think the actors really have to charm each other, do you?

plus muh pain and alone blah blah blah
I'm like Sam Hyde who can draw and do programming. With less fat and darker eyes though. He looks like me both in character and appearance regardless.

Basically all his symptoms but downplayed (I can at least take care of myself and don't talk/act like an obvious looney; plus he's gone through parental trauma and has to deal with an abusive carer)
Don't think I've ever been as emotionally invested in an internet character as this. Really hope he uploads again soon and made it out alive :(

You underestimate the soul crushing qualities of white collar drone work.
At least manual labor doesn't kill your soul, only your body, plus you can heal it much more easily
>>71904644
These guys. I can fully relate to the ecstatic feeling of the consultants when Peter just pours out dozens of points that we can include in our consulting report. One good interview can be enough to earn our whole €50-200K fee. No more work needed.
On the other hand, if we don't find anything to report, we have to scrape for a lot of weak bullshit hear and there to earn our outrageous fee. And that takes time.
Scary how well Mike Judge (the director/writer) knows this shit

>clever snarky character who runs people down but never actually creates anything significant himself.
I guess for that guy it makes sense, he was initially meant to be played by Smith so I guess Smith's snark would've gotten him somewhere eventually.
>>71909802
I got together with my friends had a barbecue and had some white russians while watching this film, it was quite fun.
I think I had about ten.

>boohoo I have to spend 8 hours a day with a mandated hour lunch break in a quiet, climate controlled personal space where I can pretty much slack all day reposting the latest media shit on facebook
Honestly, it'd be worth a laugh to see what a 9-5er would do when put into a job that requires actual endurance, mental fortitude, communication, and strength for 8 straight hours. Fucking manchildren.
>>71910675
you're welcome
>>71906536
I know this feel.
Then I somehow got confidence and went on a Trent-like streak for a couple of years.
Now I don't even care to go out anymore.
>>71906734
I saw a study not too long ago that pointed to "part time hours" or more flexible/short shift style was way more efficient, saying that 8 hour days everyone gets burnt out and actually hurts the company because they pay for shitty work in the long run. Can't quote or reference anything though, sorry.
>>71910747
Guessing you're a labourer/projecting as one?
>>71906228
Same, and it's worse because I am not elitehaxx0r skilled and it reminds how much of a failure I am. Not to mention head troubles.
>>71911152
I actually work in an office, but all of my friends are in construction, masonry, highway management and carpentry.
There's a reason people from those jobs are more likely to end up in the hospital, and it's not because >>71910220 muh sad soul ;(
>>71911405
Thought so. Those are jobs I'd 100% would never shit on people for taking, because they'll break you if you don't act smart.
White color jobs come with their faults; back pain is pretty fucking bad, especially when you're in a place where all you do is exacerbate it, and you sound like an old pussy if you complain, despite it virtually affecting everyone.

This. Corporations still haven't figured out a way to reduce their biggest expense: employees. But they're figuring it out.

Are you me?
>>71911405
White collar jobs typically end with prescription drug abuse, alcoholism and spousal abuse desu
>>71911672
Let "customers" produce everything. They'll make video and written content, they'll make free advertising, they'll willfully provide demographic data that can be sold to analysts. Soon employees and customers will be the same people, and the corporations just provide a nice little online interface.
>>71906333
you lost your nut?

I never got that that's why the Bobs reacted so positively. Thanks for explaining.

She was't even that attractive at her peak, it was all marketing
>>71904644
>boohoo I have a decent paying office job where I get to sit around half the day doing nothing woe is me!
Fucking white collar workers are the biggest babies. Cannot relate to this movie at all.
>>71906451
>because she was on a sitcom that was stupidly popular with adolescent boys?
lol, no it wasn't.
>>71912610
He wouldn't complain as much if the two Bobs were not coming to fire his friends.
And part of why he acted the way he did in the movie is because he was still under hypnosis

A combination of these two and Pat Bateman for me.
Hits me hard tbqh. People thought I was a weird big guy in high school and nowadays I'm too worn out from anti depressants.
>>71911804
this is basically what is happening. youtube, instagram, facebook. the era of customer-created content is at an all time high. why have to spend money on employees when you can just have your customers share their own data.
>>71906552
>>71906205
because its a movie
the odds of someone as attractive as her working some shitty restaurant gig are slim to none.
every hot waitress i've ever seen seems to enjoy it, and top that with the fact that ron livingston is a 5 at best and would never get with anniston is also hilarious.
>>71910220
Manual labour doesn't kill your body, Anon. I haven't been to a gym in a decade and I have the body of a swimmer through work alone. I also never exercise outside of work and can run almost indefinitely without getting out of breath. Physical jobs are brilliant for your health, especially if you eat right and don't smoke or drink excessively. It's essentially being paid to exercise.

28. But my dad has been a plasterer for most of his life and he's still fit as a fiddle -he could outrun me by a mile and then bench press me. The only way to fuck yourself up with physical work is if you don't lift shit correctly and fuck up your joints/back.
