This honestly just makes me wonder how chill a workday was if three whole buildings of office drones could empty into the streets to watch them load this for two hours.

My brother in christ, you have no idea. The rise of the computer age and needing round the clock support for all that entails has really done a number on the working class. I am old enough to remember how chill work environments in the 80's and early 90's were. (Everyone smoking indoors sucked, though)

I considered editing my comment to reference the rampant secondhand smoke.

But yeah I just interviewed for a position with an on-call rotation. I asked them about sleeping hours, and then I asked them about attendance expectations in the face of a midnight emergency. They just blinked at me.

Good luck to you man. I went through that for a long time but those days are behind me now.

The invention of clocks ruined the workday as well.

What would that even be?

Server rack with a couple of PBs worth of drives in it would probably match the physical size. Or a massive tape archive storage.

Tbh they could be waiting for the path to clear so they could get past
