One of the shift managers used to "punish" the operator by putting
him underneath the raised floor.
Every time a raised tile would come up, he would run over and jump on
it.

At friday (?) afternoon regularly some of our operators could be seen
walking down the corridor carrying some boxes for punch cards.
But: we already had no more punch cards in those years (mid to end
1980s).
The solution is: two bottles of beer fitted very well in the punch
card
boxes ... and nobody noticed what was inside.

I like the guy drinking a beer at the terminal at 2:37. Reminds me of
my early days in operations minus the doner kebab.
