Stressed? Burnt out? You’re not alone! With black humour and biting irony, we get the incredible story of how modern working life became its own worst enemy – and what we can do to change it. Endless meetings and colourful Post-It notes with empty marketing phrases have hijacked meaningful work. How did we get there?
“The idea for the documentary took hold several years ago at a time when my wife was working for Nokia, from the glory days through the acquisition by Microsoft. I saw first-hand what can happen with bad management. I saw this wonderful, dedicated, highly skilled group of people then just sort of scatter… and then the whole Nokia thing was such a big tragedy for Finland.” (John Webster)
