Hard to call this a snapshot of 'modern work' if the photos are all from the 90s. But nice throwback captures anyways.

Many of these echo what I see on a daily basis when I go into my company’s offices.

I think they mean modern in the sense of working in an office on a computer, as opposed to shoveling coal or working in the steelworks

I think we did. And just filled the rest of the hours with performative work instead of going home, because of the "moral hazard" of plebs having free time and energy to invest in themselves and communities.
