Balls. My filter is getting pretty clogged as well

[-]

krneki534@reddit

yes ... but the catalyst was me getting burned out completely, it's a state of mind I'd not recommend.

But there is a lesson here, I'm searching for a new job finally and the full remote works options look really juicy. And with the help of AI, the whole tedious process of setting up CV/web is now way easier than what it was before, where I had to pay professionals to review it.

[-]

Active_Shopping7439@reddit

I feel that. I'm at post-terminal burnout myself and it's soul crushing. I just quit a job and moved cities with nothing lined up and then ended up taking the same kind of job because it's all I'm qualified for that makes anything like a living wage.

My interview was a master class in bullshitting. Now I'm in training and having to fake a happy face when my 8 bosses come around to ask me how I'm doing. And they're actually good people this time but I just can't anymore, and they can tell. I don't know how the fuck I'm going to make it to retirement

[-]

It means "Paper Cartridge is empty, load US Letter sized paper".

ElYodaPagoda@reddit

The error message is assuming that the printing station has a list of common error codes, because the LCD display had only so many characters to display and the errors had to be short!

Experimental_Salad@reddit

The great thing about this film is that it doesn't matter if someone's worked in an office or not, the film really does translate pretty well to any kind of profession or job. There are Lumberghs everywhere.

The part of the film that really resonated with me was when Peter tells the consultants how many people he has to answer to everyday. I had a service/repair job years ago where I had a very similar situation. Despite writing a daily service log of where/when/and what work I did, I still had to answer to 3 different supervisors, 2 operations managers, and the goddamn owner of the company and keep them apprised of what I had done that day and what I had scheduled for the following day.

Funny story you probably already know but Swingline never had a red stapler. The props team painted it red so that it would stand out more. After the movie gained cult status they put one out.

[-]

foetusized@reddit

Swingline had made red staplers in the past, but didn’t have any in current production then or a few years after. Now they are a big seller. I’m pretty sure Swingline didn’t quite know what they were in for, when they agreed to this product placement.

[-]

Oh interesting. I had red ( see what I did there) that they never had a red stapler. Either way it boosted their sales and their branding better than any ad campaign.

Hey-buuuddy@reddit

Since Covid and remote/hybrid work, a lot has changed culturally in corporate America. Most offices are more like Peter’s zen state at the end of the movie. Before covid, you could wear jeans to work one Friday of the year if you donated $1 to United Way and wore the sticker on your shirt. That’s was as causal as it got, otherwise you wore business casual every day to work. Ok maybe a golf jersey. You went to dry cleaner. You ironed stuff. Every day through the end of 2019. Now, you can wear just about anything. Somehow visible arm tattoos are now in corporate photos? The change is still crazy to me. And most of the corporate world is remote or hybrid. I’ve been with my company for 16 years and have been to my office three times in the last 6 years.

I loved this movie. I started working in the business world in 1999 and this movie spoke to me. Every cliche was true. But after Covid, with the culture change and remote work, that era was over.

[-]

Reader47b@reddit

Not if you work in the legal world.

Resident-Condition-2@reddit

I work in IT. We've always worn jeans and t-shirts. They usually don't care enough about IT to enforce dress codes. I think they're just happy we wear clothes that aren't ripped or stained....or wear clothes in general.

[-]

BobSki778@reddit

I guess I’m lucky? I’ve worked in corporate America since around 2000 and have always been able to wear jeans and t-shirts. Granted, the first ~12 years of my career were working for smaller companies (50-200 employees) that mostly made electronic musical instruments and sound recording, processing, amplification equipment. But the ~14 years since have been at one of the 10 most valuable companies on the S&P 500, so the exact opposite of small. The only thing that Covid changed is significant reduction in work travel and rise in work from home and online meetings.

Most of the people in my office wear the company's branded shirts. I never have. I was asked about it and I am not free advertisement. I just got blank stares. 20 years at this company and I have gotten one free safety T-shirt. It is a horrible light blueish teal colored thing that I wear for mowing lawns. I was told I don't have any company loyalty. Hmmmm. My 20 years compared to your 5 seems pretty loyal.

[-]

sitewolf@reddit

I never wore the company shirt for any other reason than not to wear out my own (or even have to decide which one to wear)

[-]

IdaDuck@reddit

I’ve accumulated so many company shirts and coats over the years for manager meetings or celebrations. It’s good stuff too, name brands like North Face and Carhartt. I’ll wear the brand, I haven’t bought a coat or jacket for myself in 15 years.

I might wear the company stuff if they actually gave it to me instead of them asking us to buy it. The only people supplied shirts are the salesmen. They only get a couple new ones every year before the tradeshows.

CawlinAlcarz@reddit

I was in a tech adjacent role (QA for FDA related software) for that whole Y2K situation in a very large company, right before the tech bubble burst and they shipped all the jobs to Bangalore.

Admittedly, there were US born coders making STUPID money back then - 1099 contractors working 40+ hours/week at $350-$400/hour for the same company as if they were IT department employees, buying half-million dollar homes in North Jersey for cash... in 1998-1999. It's not a surprise that so much of that work was offshored.

I can't even tell you how frequently and how many of those clowns did shit like the guy in the movie messing up the decimal on the rounding software thing, then calling it a "mundane detail" that fucked over database reporting for a whole week on key clinical trial data...

It wasn't like the Asian coders were any better, but they only cost $30/hour and would fix the mistake at any time, day or night, 7 days a week. The US devs cost $400/hour and made the company wait until Monday (maybe) to fix their fuckup.

We have 20 hours of training due each year by December 31. The boss sprung it on us that the due date isnt changing but he wants us done by June. JUST SET JUNE AS THE DUE DATE!! (Just say I need 50 pieces of flair FFS). I swear we all still live in that movie

I worked in fintech for awhile.

There was a system that does debit card/atm authorization. One of the modules was called "Transaction Processing Server". You could also print reports from this module for auditing purposes etc.

The menu item was called:

"PRINT TPS REPORTS"

I don't know if it was an inside programmer joke or what, but quite a few people at the financial institution that used this system got the reference. At the time, it was hilarious.

In my top 10 of all movies, and probably one I have seen the most. It was one of the first DVDs we had back when they were just getting popular, and we watched it constantly.

I also attended the 10-year anniversary showing at the Paramount in Austin. Mike Judge and a bunch of the cast was there for a show of the movie and Q&A, and then they smashed a printer outside of the theater. Fun times!

My daughter today said a staff member at her college liked the pins on her backpack. I said, "so they liked your flair".

Then explained the reference......
