Background

Well Done portrays a Swiss telebanking company as an exemplary place of the post-industrial working world. It is 1994 and everyday office life takes place in front of the computer and mainly on the telephone receiver. The colloquial language is permeated by ubiquitous business English, while the architecture of the offices and the deserted corridors is reminiscent of futuristic landscapes.
