Do you ever hate your job so much that you wish you could be hypnotized out of feeling your daily misery? And are you tired of talking about your flair? Welcome to our episode about Office Space (1999), the oft-quoted exploration of corporate ennui and rebellion. Jess and Megan discuss what holds up (pretty much everything), the impact of meaningless overwork on mental health, the need for neurodivergents to have a piece of cake, and more.
