Thanks for the link.
I like the story about the 'Friday party' in the
part 2
.
Every Friday, the boss gives his car and his credit card to an employee and ask him to bring things for the party

I also like the part about checking every morning if there were no dead body's in the office and smoking weed in the woman's bathroom, what a company!

If you like those stories, you should read
The Ultimate History of Video Games
. It's full of anecdotes about life at Atari like those in the video.
