Yeah, our society is not a good place to be in.

I would love for Mike Judge to make Home Office Space about how Initec.AI (rebrand) is forcing workers back into the office

It would be a good short, for sure. Not enough there for a full length movie, IMHO.
I’m sure there will soon be some sort of zoomer sees “office space” for the first time YouTube videos. They’ll then realize GenX “gets it” or something.

Those videos exist and it fuels my pitch black heart seeing them

Millennials are at that stage for sure, with enshittification, AI, and the xxteenth generational crisis in a row.

With the new King of the Hill and even the Beavis and Butthead revival a bit ago, wouldn’t be a bad time for it IMO

Capitalists: people who need a peer reviewed study to realize they’re assholes.
unobtrusive measures of narcissism via photo size, signature size, and relative compensation predicted greater resistance to remote work in public statements early in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dude, come the fuck on. I take psychology as a serious science, so this methodology legitimately offends me: signature size as a metric for narcissism? Get the actual fuck out of here. This reeks of a paper in search of a conclusion.

I agree with your skepticism about the metric, but there’s a gigantic example to be found in the oval office…
Could I then use this handwriting phrenology to claim that Jimmy Carter was a bigger narcissist than Barack Obama was a slightly bigger narcissist than Adolf Hitler?
I understand they’re considering other factors, but this is so obviously fucking stupid.

I had the same reaction to that paragraph, but the very next paragraph is more compelling:
In another experiment, the authors primed CEOs’ narcissistic self-image by asking them to reflect on the role that a bold, assertive ego played in the successes of Apple CEO Steve Jobs and Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison. Afterward, leaders who’d been primed were more likely to oppose working from home, compared with those who weren’t primed. This, the researchers concluded, suggests a causal link between activating ego and opposing remote work.
I feel they could rewrite the article title to be Fortune 500 companies share narcissistic traits and it would still be true.
I’m a firm believer in that you can’t get to a high level of anything without having some form of narcissistic or selfish traits.
They want people fawning in person, remote fawning is not so moist xxx
