Office Space Appreciation Thread

[Obtain Knowledge]

Let's this classic

We were in highschool when this hliarious gem came out, being forcefed the Career Day lie, that if we went to college our foots were immediately in the door.

13 years later, as reality sets in, how many of you can relate to Peter and the Initech crew as you troop in this job field.

Classic film

If only we all had the guts like Peter to tell our consultants how we really feel about working at their company

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Remeber when Peter said this:

"Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work

Raise hands, if you can relate

That's me erday. Classic movie.

Just saw this movie for the first time.
Bill Lumbergh the Goat.
This scene had me dying, ridiculous.
They had my man move his desk six times until he ended up in the basement and they stopped paying him

“What would you say...you DO here?”

I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don’t have to. I have people skills I am good at dealing with people. Can’t you understand that? I'm a people person damnit

This movie should be required viewing for anyone who starts working in an office.... A lot of it is closer to reality than you would think.

True story: I was working in a law firm a couple years after this movie came out. Every now and then, my co-worker would bring in his laptop and we'd play the movie while we ate lunch. Now we had what we called Conflicts reports, based on the research we did on potential clients for the firm. Depending on the company (we did a lot of work for large insurance companies), the reports would be MASSIVE, like almost 300-500 pages each. So we'd just send the requesting attorney an electronic copy, so he could filter out what he needed. But our idiot managing attorney, thought it would be a great idea to print these things out... "I would just feel better knowing we had access to them when we need them" But we're NEVER going to need them, once the requesting attorney gets them! But she insisted. So one day a couple weeks later, we're watching Office Space, and it gets to the part about TPS reports, and it hit me and my man on some

and we looked at each other and slowly said "Conflicts Reprorts..." I was like "turn it off, man, this is hitting too close to home"

"Let me tell you something about those TPS reports. "

I got a promotion based on that. Basically we were a small company still at the time. So there was a lot of down time. My coworkers would all congregate in the hallways bullshytting around with each other. I was always in my office usually reading or posting on SOHH. Come review time I was told that I don't have to work so hard and can socialize more. When it came time to assign a new manager they referenced me being such a hard worker as the main reason for giving me the manager job.
