TRANSCRIPT:

Lisa: Hello?

Paul: Hi there.

Lisa: Who's this?

Paul: It's Paul from HR. Just letting you know we're not going to be working from home anymore.

Lisa: Oh um, you have the wrong number!

Lisa: Hello?

Paul: Hi Lisa, Paul from HR again. Cool hangup. Just wanted to reiterate that working from home is no longer an option.

Lisa: Why are you doing this to me?!

Paul: Can't wait to see you bright and early on Monday.

Paul: I'd leave now to avoid that painful commute.

Paul: Sounds like you dropped your wine.

Paul: Probably a good thing. You'll want to wake up fresh.

Lisa: You can't make me go back to the office! I'm not ready!

Paul: Go to the fridge.

Lisa: What is it?

Paul: Open it! I premade lunches for the week. Can't wait for you to try the tuna salad I made for Friday. The bread is gonna get so soggy!

Lisa: Is this some sick joke?

Paul: What's sick is the smell you're gonna leave when you reheat the poached fish I made in the microwave.

Lisa: Everyone's gonna hate me! No....no.... Ahhhhhhhh!

Paul: Forgot to mention, business attire is mandatory. So dust off those mid-rise Reitman trousers!

Lisa: Sweatpants forever!

Paul: It's gonna be great! No more mid-day naps or walks. You'll be working on someone else's schedule. What a dream. Can't wait to talk to you about only the weather. See you tomorrow!

Gary: Who was that, honey?

Lisa: It was work. I have to go back to the office...

Gary: Oh my god, that sounds horrible. Wanna watch a movie or something?

Lisa: I can't, I have to go to bed early.

Gary: Goodnight...

Gary: Hello!

Pam: Hey Gary, it's Pam from HR. Just letting you know we're not going to be working from home anymore.

Gary: Noooooooooo!

Painfully, painfully accurate. Except the part where someone pre-makes lunches.

[hellowjp]

The worst part is not bad lunch, it's the commute, the dressing up, the makeup! Omg...

[lumav]

perfect explanation of what most of us feel. A great example of how desperately enslaved we feel and how it's time companies make changes.

[waineph]

...just perfectly made in every way, filming and editing really enhance the horror...comfortable bliss and then it is taken away...

[giffordshoneyfarm]

That explains why there is a worker revolt going on....so great!

[toesnose]

I am retired but it’s still funny as heck

[guniseran]

Imagine all the savings; gas, wear and tear, clothes, expensive coffee/lattes, plus reduction in GHG emission for not driving

[AnotherHippie]

As someone who just got the call I’d just like to say I most likely will cry while in the office. They need to provide free therapy…

[lorettavanriet]

The poached fish and tuna on Friday was brilliant!

[opetrescu]

Amazing. You guys knock some of these out of the park!

[thelucasstorm]

Hilarious! How does this not have more views?

[alexmackinnon]

Already have my perm remote work and so happy.

[LeifWarner]

The popcorn left on the stove was giving me such anxiety.

[NewMessage]

Ok, I know it's Halloween and all, but.. poached fish? That's just... not ok.

[tinaperez]

Lotsa vids on this topic. But this is one of the BEST!!! 😂🤣😂😮😩😩

[francescocastello]

can bear all of that except the commute, nooo

[CatEyedGoddess]

🤣😂🤣😂!! The biggest thing about WFH I loved was not having to deal with my asshole supervisor. Then our manager who is based in another state said we are still on a flex schedule so WFH is still available here and there. But I practically have to beg my supervisor to let me WFM. One day it was storming bad and he would not let me WFM. When I asked him why, he said it’s because HE doesn’t like working from home because it’s lonely and he doesn’t have anyone to talk to. So by making me come in, it gives him someone to talk to. We are contractors for a company whose employees are WFH. So we sit in a empty office all day. I love sitting traffic, spending 50 bucks a week on gas, so I can waste 3 hours listening to my supervisor talk to me about nonsense because he has no life. Damn I miss

[mozerm]

I'll die before I go back to the office.

[polihayse]

Great video! My workplace is using this video as part of a psyop to push the idea that "people are treating RTO as the end of the world, but it's not a big deal really." Everyone needs to see what this kind of media really is.
