Love Fake

Dad is losing his job after 40 years right before retirement.

Unlike a what of you fools think, no company loves you. None. Zero. It cannot happen. It’s a fantasy, and a stupid one at that. Why it’s such a common one is that I guess people want to believe that the world is a better place than it in fact is. The reality, though, is that a company will throw you in the trash the very second that it benefits them.

It’s better to live with that truth than get blindsided by what should have been obvious all along.

Take Your Fun And

The Reason the Office Isnโ€™t Fun Anymore.

Are you kidding me with this shit?

This was written sociopathic extrovert* RTO fetishist. Who goes to an office to have fun? And who the fucking fuck thinks they should or ever have been fun? Only people I absolutely despise.

โ€œPeople are coming in to do occasional big meetings, but really the rest of the time, they want a quiet private spot to get on a Zoom call,โ€ said Witting, a partner at the company. โ€œItโ€™s weird.โ€

You dumb, dumb motherfucker. They are trying to WORK. Most of them don’t want to be there anyway as I am sure it’s the result of some harebrained RTO mandate. And while they are in the office, they are — shockingly — attempting to get their daily work completed. This is exactly what I mean when I say the MBA class does not at all care about productivity or profit. Not really. Right in the quotes from the clown above you can see exactly what those types are concerned with.

โ€œIt seems that the goal of returning to office has been to create a rowdy buzz,โ€ said Blaze. โ€œWeโ€™re not seeing that.โ€

Many people — including me — cannot work in your goddamn “rowdy buzz,” you complete fucking numpty. I hate these people so very much.

Just let people work from home. It’s so vastly more productive. But not for sociopathic types like these who want to exercise power and create fake work families.

*Not implying all extroverts are sociopaths, just that this specific person might be.

Punch

This office computer from the early 1960s.

That ain’t no computer, bro. That’s just a dumb one-way data entry system that wrote to tape. It was at least an advance over punch cards, but also fantastically expensive. I agree with a commenter that it’s a Data Action product, but photos of those have been lost to history so I have no idea the model.

Knowing roughly when this product was released and judging by the hairstyle, clothes and other hints, this promo photo would’ve been taken somewhere between 1967-1970.
