was corporate "wagie" life (office life) more tolerable in the past?  late 80s-90s offices (what i saw in-person as a kid and on tv) seemed to really have a community-like charm to them. was it easier to work these kinds of jobs and be in these sort of environments 40-50 hours/week back in the 80s and 90s? what are the political consequences when the charm of office life has ended but the expectation for society to continue on in this sort of work has died?
