>why does a soulless job make people unhinged
only chinks find comfort in cubicles

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.

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

>"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.

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.

how are they worse? quit watching the news, user. if anything things have gotten much better.

Jobs exist to get you money

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 All those shitty late 90s movies about the middle class is hell are outdated.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?

>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.

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.

>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.

utterly soulless life

Lundberg asked him personally.
But he could have just said no.
Lundberg didn't have the power to fire him.

Jesus

Basically outside of Tetris, he didn't have much to do
Even fucking 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 bitch who didn't want to fix it. He's basically a Jap salaryman. But 'in America'

There's no magical fucking point the movie was making about how shit work is. Even with the original ending.
The message is: if you're a retarded piece of shit then you'll stay that way.

Original ending?

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.

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
