Just watched The (British) Office. It leaves you feeling depressed and hopeless. In other words it is way more realistic than the American version.

@target 1, nah it’s still horrible. That Christmas party where they throw his hat over the roof. Reminds me of how horrible it is that we spend most of our lives with people we don’t get along with or understand. In the us one they become family. They stick together out of choice.

Have you seen the whole thing? The specials included? The final special is a little bit hopeful.

Oh actually I stopped before the specials

At the end of the season 2 it's like British Jim doesn't get the job, the boss gets fired, and you realize all it ever was was just an office

Yeah, the final special is a tad hopeful. Most of the show is realistic though. I like how they don't sugar coat shit.

Hi all,
I wanted to know if anyone was having issues with their pharma branded Instagram accounts? My brand’s account was fine yesterday and now when you search it it’s not on IG. It’s a business account so it’s fully public. I reached out to a few brand managers and it’s hit or miss on if they’re brand is found. Cleared caches, incognito browser, and all. I’m not sure if IG is down or if something changed with IG and pharma accounts.
