My Fake Job by Rodney Rothman, The New Yorker, Nov. 27, 2000. If you missed out on working for a dot-com start-up, Rodney Rothman’s article offers a hilarious introduction to what it was like in those crazy times. Rothman, a writer, found himself at the warehouse offices of a Manhattan Silicon Alley start-up with the thought: Someone could just show up for work one day and blend right in to the chaos. So that’s what he did. He showed up, saying he was a junior project manager transferred in from a satellite office. Soon Rothman had a desk, a phone and an email account. He spent his days blending into the office routine, pretending to have work-related phone conversations as his newfound coworkers appeared, disappeared and changed jobs. He even survived a layoff. Part of the fun of this article is the idea that he could actually pull this charade off. The other part is how Rothman presents the signs of lunacy that are symptomatic of Internet mania. redchip.com Tim
