Any film could give us hey I just my job, I lost the house… sob sob.. It\’s not the factory setting that generates the usual sympathy to be sure. It is a cautionary tale too that when you\’re not in a job that locks in pay increases like a public sector job (well we know that isn\’t really the case either anymore) to realize if you\’re making big money you\’re not going to make it forever.
