If you can, try to view the movie,
'OFFICE SPACE'.
That movie, at least the first 1/3 of it, attempts to capture (your) life, in a hypothetical 1987 tech start-up. Exploring many myths, but they do capture some essential 'looks', with the concrete 'tilt-up' construction and half-partitions.
Some of that movie is dated, but they do capture an essence, of the Santa Clara valley experience, that also applies to a few Los Angeles area city's, again circa 1987.
You had the blue collar folks, in mix with engineers, and a sarcastic dig, on contrasts;
A magazine subscription vendor making more than his original title (Software Engineer).
It's all 1987, in my opinion, but still more than simple comedy and satire.
