    @jayhawk11 is an octo-core at heart: To have "an eye for industrial design" one should have a degree in such and be an industrial designer. A.k.a. a person who designs vehicles or metallic structures for a living. I'm sure this soldier doesn't do that and most likely doesn't plan on it. Industrial design isn't as exciting as Jonathan Ive makes it sound. Take a look at an indust. design class and that becomes apparent quickly.

    As a comic, that last scene is just missing that je ne sais quoi. It's probably the lack of Geto Boys playing in the background.

    Who would have thought the Geto Boys would contribute to the je ne sais quoi of anything?

    A lightsaber would significantly ruin the office-space'esque feeling that destroying printing equipment (HP manufactured R2-d2) brings,... almost iconic to that of such movie.

    the trick is to become really good at your job, but don't document anything. any innovative ways of doing stuff, any improvements to current systems - do not document any of it.

    this makes you valuable and irreplaceable, since the only person who knows how to do what you do is you.

    @nutbastard: Spoken like an employee, not a boss. Those are the first people to go when what they're doing is discovered. I'll take the small loss of replacing the employee and retraining and maybe even buying some new equipment rather than be truly fucked down the line.

    You want job security? Do your job well and make yourself well liked, even if that means being nice to people you don't like. That doesn't mean kiss ass. I know I want hard workers who are pleasant to be around.
