I like how there’s now a sitcom about people working in a big box retail store in an attempt to connect with the downwardly mobile American public who can’t even get office jobs anymore. 45 years from now I can’t wait to watch the sitcom about a bitcoin miner who never leaves his iso cube and the wacky antics he gets up to in the metaverse.
The UK Office was produced by two weirdos on a publicly funded channel. The US Office was produced by a subsidiary of General Electric and then Comcast. Of course the message was going to end up being something Peggy Noonan would be comfortable with. I’m baffled by how many Americans declare watching and rewatching that US version as a comfort thing. Stockholm Syndrome indeed.
I worked in an office (consultant lol) for a few years and felt like I was going to die. It was even more boring and pointless than school. I thankfully escaped to the trades and eventually ended up where I am now: city gardener. The money is peanuts but I get to spend my days outside doing actual work. Noonan is a delusional fool and a prime example of the dirty secret of office work: you have to be lazy as shit with no useful skills to like it.
Peggy Noonan missed the whole point of The Office, Madmen and others. The characters were trapped in a corporate hellscape full of alienation, frustration and abuse. Any aware person having experienced this subculture does not find it endearing.
She actually said you learn how to integrate with a diverse group of people? Offices preselect people based on similarity at the tail end of a process, education, that already pre-selects and routes people. Then it takes those pre-pre-selected people and compartmentalizes them into departments focused on one goal. The constituting of an office is a very explicit de-diversification process.
Like the star trek episodes where the Borg drone gets separated and experiences the existential horror of self realization and loneliness and wants back in.
As a person who worked for a company who “encouraged” and then rapidly “enforced” greater in-person participation, it’s obvious why they did so. They had massive commercial leases on several floors that would have been huge liabilities for them if they weren’t able to fill them
The only time you do envy office work is if you've only done retail and hospitality and you have wildly inconsistent shift work and never get weekends or agreed upon holidays like 'real jobs' do. The actual work nah probably not looks really boring
I literally went back to being a trash thrower. I’m autistic and the forced conversations in office life was just not doable. I even enjoyed the spreadsheets, but really didn’t enjoy the boss saying “that’s not how we do things here,” with that thing having the formula in a column of cells not reflect net but gross due to a pasting error who knows how long ago. I agree the weekends off were quite nice but I was miserable otherwise lol
This is true, lots of Americans would gladly trade for a boring upper middle class position. The left shouldn't forget how much work is done that sucks, often as an only resort for generally overqualified people in a crumbling economy
@@JStack I feel you, I'm not autistic like yourself but no conversation is forced it can feel like it but they get the hint that this is boring and you should piss off. It sucks you liked an aspect but a corporate stooge was overzealous over a job. If you're even marginally happier then it was worth leaving.
@@muscularclassrepresentativ5663 I get what our lovely Chapos mean but they may have just been out of standard employment where they forget that retail and hospitality can be as mentally crushing as a white collar job. I'm by no means an accelerationist but the sooner the economy collapses the better, a concept which functionally doesn't exist for anyone who has to work but strangely never gets to keep any of it.

Demystify my home all you fucking want if I can spend 70% of my day watching cartoons for the same pay I was making going into the office 40 hours a week.
I have two great concerns about Peggy Noonan : that she is having a nervous breakdown; and more importantly that she doesn't know how to watch television.
The idea that the end of the office might have meant that a show about offices… one that satirizes the stupidity and ridiculousness of OFFICES might not have happened… it’s too fucking good. This kind of circular reasoning is what makes offices so great.
I have an email job that pays very well. My life changed when we all went remote. I was an employee that didn't telework because I wasn't as productive and felt people were lazy. After going 100% remote, I wouldn't ever go back to the office. Ir made me realize that what I do is total bullshit and it's not worth investing my soul in. Remote work allows me to keep a distance and keep things in perspective.
One time someone stood in my cubicle with their ass to me while they talked to someone in the adjacent cubicle. Yadayada I was almost fired. I can't help but wonder what would Gladwell have done.
Another insidious part of working from home not discussed is that there is a lot more oversight to ensure people are filling their time. What was once the occasional head poking around a corner asking how things are going, is now a weekly email asking for a breakdown of activities/tasks. It's like a golden age for middle management. I've only ever worked white collar 2020 onward so I don't know what it was like pre-pandemic, but my colleagues have made it clear that they could get away with doing a lot less work before remote working.
Well this is probably dependent on the office culture, but generally speaking there is less oversight in most outfits in my estimation. However, I think that's just because WFH spy technology hasn't caught up yet and also the labor market favors workers currently. Those two things can change quickly and people could be facing (effectively) mandatory video monitoring and all kinds of intensive measurement of output. That's when middle management will really experience a boom, when they are greenlit to create all kinds of checklists and worksheets to gauge output/torture you because you can't easily quit and find another job.
Lol wtf are you talking about, there is way less micromanagement now. That's half the reason they want us back, grind us back under the heel of micromanagement.
As someone who was literally homeless until the november before last, living in a tent city - Why don't we turn all those "depressing" empty office buildings into affordable housing?
Genuine "devils-advocate" answer: because it would be WAY harder than it seems. Office buildings and apartment buildings, despite their similarities, are not built very similarly. All the plumbing is typically centralized into a single location on each floor. The bathrooms, water fountains, and kitchens tend to all be near each other, and stacked upon one another floor to floor, with no plumbing anywhere else. Far less windows. Double height drop ceilings make for awkward renovations since it's all currently built for ease of maintenance and use. Obviously it's a good idea and I hope it happens eventually, but it won't be as easy as you might imagine, just smacking up some more walls and doors where there used to be cubicles and desks
