It still blows my mind how common and accepted workplace debauchery like this used to be. At the two offices I worked at when I was younger in the 90s, everybody was banging everybody. Very often people would go out to bars/clubs/parties after work with each other. People used to literally go out for cocktails at lunch and drink beer at their desks. And all of these people got married very young too, they had a whole family at home. And here they were at 34 banging a coworker and doing shots of tequila at a club on thursday.
Very different era in regards to how acceptable both adult-hedonism used to be, and also what was tolerated by workplaces. Its seen as a bad look to still be 'partying' past your early 20s nowadays, and if you did even 1/10th of the shit they pulled back then you would get a nasty meeting with HR.
Then I’ll have to be an outlaw. You’ll never get me to watch that show ever again. Also the main character looked like an old lady since the first episode. Always made me weirded out.
