We return in episode 12 with some unsexy office roleplay to set the stage for an analysis of the white collar workplace, ranging from its mid-century beginnings, its computerized transformation during the new millenium, and to the present day open concept hellscape. Our discussion takes us from Protestant work ethic to ergonomic furniture, office sirens to Dilbert, with a mandatory Navel Gaze detour about a semi-obscure French film.
