Office Space - If I had a million dollars on HackerTube: recommended by 1 Hacker News commenter across 1 month, 2020–2024.
comedy · evergreen
A 54-second clip from the film Office Space in which two coworkers talk about what they would do with a million dollars. The answers contrast blue-collar and white-collar attitudes toward work.
Mostly a joke reference in threads about layoffs, idleness and wealth, with one commenter sincerely recommending the clip for its contrast of work attitudes.

Lawrence: Well, what about you now, what would you do [if you had a million dollars]? Peter: ... Nothing. Lawrence: Nothing, huh? Peter: I would relax, I would sit on my ass all day ... I would do nothing. Lawrence: Well you don’t need a million dollars to do nothing, man. ▶ this video

> People who are driven and smart don't suddenly earn their first $5m go off and buy an annuity I guess I must not be driven, because I would. Or at least something close enough to that. $5m just earning interest at 5%ish is way more income than I need to live the lifestyle I want. I'd buy a few acres in the middle of no where, build a nice house, grow a big garden, raise my daughter as a nice family man and never work again.
