Listen "The Patterns of Corporate Life Make People Sad"
Episode Synopsis
Jennifer has spent the majority of her career working in corporations, and while the industries, services, policies, systems, technologies, and even the names and faces of the colleagues, change over time, there’s one truth that remains eternal: work brings out the worst in people! Organizational life has a way of changing us, making us—sad. Rod Serling, the writer of tonight’s featured film, Patterns, must have felt the same way, because he dealt with this theme multiple times–not just in Patterns, as we’ll see tonight, but in some of his Twilight Zone episodes as well. Jennifer offers no solutions to this problem, but Patterns provides a case study, and perhaps we can learn a few lessons, in tonight’s episode of the Vintage Century Idle Hour.
