  1. Great video! On a somewhat related note, working at small, local businesses vs large companies is kind of similar. Supporting small, local businesses is great, and people often want to work at them rather than at a huge, heartless corporation. But sometimes working at small businesses can be worse than at large companies, I think due to less oversight and regulation, the owner has more power, etc.

  2. Yes! Awesome video. Clips from Office Space and The Office! Very interesting points and perspective in your video! Great points about toxic workplace culture. I'm a teacher, which I wanted to do and I like, it is busy, long hours, and stressful. Sometimes I dream about a boring office job where I can leave work at work. I also hope that office jobs are actually like on The Office and Parks and Rec, lol. But I could see disliking office jobs. So I don't know. I guess the grass is always greener. I love Office Space! I watch it all the time, sometimes in the background when I'm tired of working. I understand the critique of corporate/office culture and jobs in general, but I'm also wondering if Peter may had ADHD. Sometimes jobs that are boring and monotonous can be difficult for ADHD'ers, and they may be better suited for a job that's more active, fast-paced, and that changes. Note how Peter hates his job and life at Initech but seems happier working construction. Not a diagnosis, just a thought.
