As I have written, my luck with jobs and adoptions has not been great. So the scene I envision would come after the third adoption. The character, who would be loosely modeled after yours truly, will have been working a couple of years doing some kind of mundane tasks. His hopes are that one day, he will be promoted to management. So, after these many years of dedication, a job opens. Going into his next adoption, he sees this as his golden opportunity.
He applies. The interview is a disaster. Instead of being high on their list, he is not even on it. They tell him that he is not qualified, even thought he has been doing this kind of work for 10 years. They go on to say that he really needs to prove himself if he wants to move up. Promotions are not just going to be given to him, if that is what he thinks.
So, the employer decides to go outside for an unproven candidate. Cut to our hero watching Office Space with his eldest daughter cuddling up to him. She goes "Daddy, is this what work is like?"
