It’s 2022, remote work has revolutionized the corporate world, and quite quitting is on the rise.
During the pandemic, nothing made sense anymore. Like Walmart having their biggest event of the year, Black Friday, on Monday. And yes, they still called it Black Friday.
Problem is, nobody likes Mondays. Especially, the original quite quitters who suffered from a "case of the Mondays", the cast of the 1999 film, Office Space.
We reunited the cast of Office Space to see how they have decided to stop hating Mondays and start getting the best deals of the year, while working REMOTE.

Chemours aims to encourage young girls to pursue careers in the sciences.
Women throughout history have made countless noteworthy contributions to science, technology, engineering and math. Yet today, they still only hold a scant 29 percent of jobs in STEM.
By casting little girls as some of history’s most inspiring women chemists, we’re retelling the stories of those who have won Nobel prizes, headed college science departments, and invented modern day miracles. All in the hope that more little girls will see these successful women and in it, also see a part of themselves

For many students, learning about the Periodic Table has never been something to sing about. So to promote #NationalChemistryWeek, we created a series of animated music videos to celebrate this fundamental scientific tool and inspire the next generation of chemists.
From a classical performance by the Noble Gases to a punk tribute by the Halogens, various elements of the Periodic Table were assigned a distinct genre, style, and lyrics for each day of the week.
Utilizing stop-motion and 3D printed props, we turned every set into a stage and dominated the conversation on Twitter. Earning almost a million impressions in two days and the highest engagement Chemours has ever received.
