I watched this for the first time the other day, and thought it was absolutely awesome.

While it's a comedy film, it surprisingly touched on a lot of areas seen in David Graeber's 'Bullshit Jobs' concept, 14 years earlier.

Well acted, supremely funny and well written, and a particular joy to anyone who's worked in an office, or had a family member who did. There's not really any low or slow point in the film, it's steadily excellent the whole way through.

Ah, my bad, I saw it decades ago, and you did say you just saw it, I was needlessly hostile.

IIRC, ... I think the movie actually did inspire a number of people, in real life, to attempt to do the ... fractional penny slush fund.

Yep, here's a more recent case:

... he said that once they fired him, his opinion was, ‘Fuck ‘em,’” the report said.

An inspiration to us all
