A businessman wakes up in a cell with a mill, not he must work hard every day to avoid any punishment while trying to find a way to escape and see his newborn son. Subscribe to our second channel: tinyurl.com/Movie-Recaps
@@John-Doe-Yo Just because it hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it never happens. In fact, it happens often enough that the word "busywork" exists to describe it.
@@jamestk656exactly, i work in a cafe and the amount of times my manger will pass by and tell me to dust the legs of chairs, tables or display baskets is insane. absolutely pointless work just so she can have me non-stop moving🙄
@@markazulislam5143 give a good performance for those that you think it's worth giving it to. I wasted ~10 years busting my ass for ungrateful companies and eventually found one that was actually worth my effort. Do slightly above what you think is median effort.
@@markazulislam5143give your best performance only to yourself and family only. When you gone company will just replace you with someone else and maybe a little "aww sucks, anyway" moment. Do what necessary and do what to be expected.
@uncommonsense360 If the protagonist in this movie was a loner and didn't miss out on family moments. Then YES just take that money and toil away in silence. It comes down to priorities
I love the corporate life analogies Getting rewarded with more work. Getting rewarded for being brutal to others. Being given just enough to survive. So much good stuff!

I had a coworker that created a new division in our company and he had a deal where he would get a percentage of the revenue above a certain quota as an annual bonus. When he passed the quota by so much he was making more money than the C-Suite execs the first year, they kept raising the quota until he wasn't making any money. They eventually found a way to fire him and put an NPC in charge of the division. This movie was a documentary.
His own fault. Shouldnt trust them to play fair. He needed a well done contract. Quotas can only be changed once every 5 years, retainer fee for his services, so hes not an at will employee, and the ability to exchange pay for stock options. Gotta have protection in writing
This really hits hard to me when my first job i was a replacement for someone who died because of failed machine that should do the job... And i learned this after several weeks working there
The only correct move here is for all of the prisoners to refuse to push it all. Think about it: eventually every single one of them will get to the point where they will be the one with the least turns, so why give the captors all that free labor since they're going to kill you any way? The only winning move is not to play.
Isn’t the pushing the mill pointless snd it doesn’t do anything anyway? So even if they stop it doesn’t matter since there was never a point to the mill to begin with
@@Chris951021It’s an episode of the Simpsons. I can’t remember what season, but it’s one of the earlier ones. Homer is being whipped and forced to turn a wheel underground, then it cuts above ground where there’s a party happening, and all the spinning is doing is turning around a little pedestal that a cake is on.

Alot of people have to work to live instead of the other way, it's rare where you can do something that your passionate about and also make a good living.
Duke mining placed all their workers in workers camps and paid them in company credits that were only good at the company store. But the prices at the store were so high that just feeding their families put them into debt to the company. People were less than slaves. They were forced to pay the company that they worked for, and when they died with their massive debts, their families were sent the bill. This is one of the reasons why unions were created.
My guess for the ending was that he was a clone for the company to train the AI on how to make humans create max productivity and then for the original character to get promoted since his clone did the best.
Our life nowadays is the mill.. We work our whole life to reach something that is useless when we are dead. Carrot and a donkey dilemma. We earn to live another day just to consume what we earn. 99% of the people are in gategory 0.
@@WaryofExtremesOne Incredible how it's 2023 and you managed to miss the entire point of the movie nad my comment in one go. You are truly disconnected from reality mate.
@@Beta_Mixes I mean, you choose to work there. No ones forcing you. Just know that every moment you whine, there’s a thousand others waiting to do the same job better than you for a cheaper price.
I remember working at a certain company where anytime someone finished their job early they would be given a mundane and meaningless task just so that they look like they are doing work because we were being paid for our time and not our efficiency
Just watched this movie. We aren't far from this being a reality. Maybe not as harsh but most companies already make you sign an attribution only clause as a condition of employment. In other words you have to sign away your Constitutional right to your day in court. I'd give the movie a B+ I'll give the premise an AA+
you do realise that you can't put something in a contract to make something legal that is federally illegal right? like murder or sign away basic rights. it's not legal and it only happens in movies.
@darkracer1252 Sorry, but you're wrong. Companies today have an arbitration agreement as part of their hiring paperwork, and it makes arbitration your only means for disputes. We take away peoples constitutional rights all the time. Do you even live on this planet?
@@busterbrown446 companies. DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO BREAK THE LAW DUMB ........ .... ... .. ..... you probbably think murder is fine if the person signed a contract for it.
@@busterbrown446i dont know about the us but in Germany you cant just write a contract where it states that something illegal just is legal after you sign it. Companies are not able to place them above the law just by making a contract. In Germany the constitution is called the Grundgesetz, and to change something in the Grundgesetz is very hard even when covid hit , it took a long time before some of our rights got suspended for a short time.
It's always the fineprint that'll get ya...and once again, we see that trying to keep up with the Jones will always blow up in your face. DO YOU first and only...
I love this channel, because I always find my self going down the rabbit hole at 1am+ and end up finding so many cool movies I've never seen thanks to this.
They've already considered any crazy way to torture employees but not so much they cant still work. Don't vote for the party that tries to keep people from voting and gerrymanders to stay in power.
At my last company I was denied a promotion because, 'You are more valuable being a trainer and working on the reports ', I quit that job after I had a miscarriage at 28 weeks and my manager wrote me up for leaving early without approval.
My first manager always delayed some of the contracts of the last months to the next year, so that we both outperformed the objectives by 10%, ensuring our bonus, and started the year with a comfortable advance. It worked for years.
reminds me of Amazon . They display a scoreboard of your productivity on a display in front of your work station with a ranking system . No information given . Only to find out the top scorers were computer generated in an effort to make you work harder . haha
