Did this behavior start with the coda of Office Space or has it always been a thing?

A big aspect of Marxism is that labor has been alienated from their production in the age of industrialization, so I’d say it’s been a thing for a while.

I've read a lot of Marx and I think this is ultimately less about alienation and more about guilt.
