What’s an office? It’s a big building with windows, but that’s not important.
Unintentional ASMR.
We just didn’t know what to call it back then when it was putting us to sleep in elementary school. 💤
Reminds me of high school days, with the exception of the telephone switchboard. Before my time. Times were so much simpler.
Other than the years I spent cleaning them professionally, I never worked in any office.
I want to be an office worker!
What no smokers? Kind of unbelievable
Punch cards rock!
It’s hard to believe that I was alive in these ancient times.
They didn’t mention “cooking the books” though!
“Could you think of why people work in offices?”
“Well, for money!”
You mean they don’t do it because they’re pumped to achieve great things in an exciting and fast-paced environment, with a tight-knit team who’s like a family, to innovate and provide cutting edge solutions for key opinion leaders?
I wonder how many people know what shorthand writing is??
For a moment I mistook the envelope wrapping machine for a shear. Imagine their clients' confusion.
Or their employees whose checks were in those envelopes. Talk about a cut in pay. :D
As an office worker, who has worked in buildings full of offices, The most important thing we do is keep track of all of the offices.
I have seven bosses. Usually they provide me with memos.
Memos that remind me to add cover letters.
Cover letters for all of our TPS reports.
The automatic gain on the audio is annoying.
The term "office people" reminds me of Carl Icahn firing a building's worth of people, and no one noticed. A fascinating story.
No computers!🖥️ 😂
As a sometime corporate CEO I can confirm that office jobs are all the same.
I get it. We have offices in America but the goods are made in China.
@9:28 "$91.16 ... More than just compensation for week's worth of soul crushing labor. Money that can now be used to purchase some Swanson frozen dinners and a bottle of cheap red wine to numb the pain."
✌🥴👍
That’s like an hourly wage today.
If that’s the attitude one takes to work then that’s the reward you get. Your life is whatever you make out of it.
@@OldCanadianguy953 I appreciate the response, and I grok your POV, but I must disagree.
The demands of society often force individuals to take 'whatever work is available' regardless of skills or personal preferences.
The 'need' for every person to be 'productive' often pushes us into situations where we would much rather be doing something else, but show up to the daily grind where we don't always have a choice in who we are forced to interact with.
Not all of us are born with the physio-chemical makeup that ensures such a permanently sunny psychological disposition. One simply can't decide that from now on I'll only be happy. The daily stresses of modern workforce, ranging from boredom to outright fear affect each of us in different ways. For my experience the majority of coworkers throughout my career have run afoul of these at one point or another.
My final point is that this comment was made entirely from the POV of jest. I was simply trying to invoke a humorous response in those who appreciate the foibles (both real and imagined) of modern human society.
My sincere apologies for apparently having failed in this attempt in your case. Laughter is my sole artificial means of occasionally generating the kind of contentment that you seem to be lucky enough to live by naturally.
@@johnp139yeah the typical mook is earning ~$189k/year
With wages like that, home come nobody wants to work anymore?
Shouldn't throw stones.
Interesting film! My Mother worked as a secretary in an office in NYC during that time period. I should ask her how much she earned. Decades later, I worked as a School Clerk in an office too. That headline though (9:44) ! Sad that racism is still an issue in the 21st Century!
Oh yeah. Now you can racist toward white people and it’s okay.
How so?
I was a bused student, anti-busing has nothing to do with racism. In fact, busing is not about race. It's about money. If you bus higher GPA suburban students into lower GPA urban schools the urban school will receive more federal funding than the suburban school will lose, so the district makes more money overall. The ledger our school kept on its list of bused students didn't even have a column for race, but it did have a column for earnings.
You can't "white wash" history!
@@RadRidesByCru Nice "White wash"!
WOW!!! HOW ANCIENT!!!
"PC load letter? WTF is a PC load letter."
What is a “check”?
Anti hippie propaganda
I was kicked out of my office in '73 for getting both my secretaries and janitor pregnant. In today's world, I'd be fired.
And you would be broke because of child support.
thats an odd flex
They have taken the fun out of everything. I used to be able to smoke in the grocery check out line. Now I have to smoke outside. It ain't right.
What's the difference between getting "kicked out" and getting fired?
Typical baby boomer
A boring job
