I'm reminded that: > The life of the American worker is inherently undignified [0] Also, if you Google "Hacker News Undignified" you will find a bunch of posts related to work, even though there is nothing in the query that is inherently related to work. I don't know the first thing about making documentaries, but a documentary simply titled "Undignified" that covers the bullshit workers have to go through would hit hard I think. Just give voice and documentation to the extra burdens so many workers have to endure; can you go to the bathroom when you need to? If you have a stationary job, can you sit? Or do you have to stand for 8 hours straight? Can you sing to the radio, or will a computer algorithm punish you for it? Etc. All of these burdens are optional, our society could accomplish its work without these hardships, but we choose not to. The delivery driver can both deliver packages and use a restroom, and a grocery store checker can scan items while sitting on a stool.
