The film Office Space is a satirical comedy about the nature of work, especially in corporate office occupations. It is set against the backdrop of the Initech Corporation, a software company, and follows the daily life of Peter Gibbons, who hates his job. Peter goes to work every day in frustrating traffic and stares at a computer screen without doing much actual work. He feels belittled by multiple bosses, particularly Bill Lumberg, for making seemingly innocent mistakes, and expresses a desire to stop working and do nothing. He commiserates with his colleagues and friends Samir and Michael, who are also frustrated with their work and other colleagues. When Peter becomes hypnotized by his therapist, he stops caring about work, even though his office has just hired two consultants, presumably to facilitate corporate layoffs. Samir, Michael, and Peter's other colleagues are anxious and cautious in their assessments with consultants, but Peter shows up late and is brutally honest about his lack of work ethic and motivation, as well as his opinions of upper management. Surprisingly, Peter is promoted and informed of the impending firing of his hard-working friends Samir and Michael, leading them to implant a computer virus that will steal fractions of a cent from the company's accounts every day and deposit them into another owned bank account. by the three men. When a miscalculation in the virus leads them to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars instead of fractions of cents, Peter, Michael and Samir worry about the consequences, and Peter ends up writing a letter to take the blame for the theft. Luckily for all of them, Milton, a strange employee who I... middle of paper has taken advantage of for years... probably finds it funny. Most people have likely had a boss who irritates and micromanages them, like Bill Lumberg, and they relate to Peter who neglects to show up to work on Saturdays and comes to work in flip-flops to play tetris. Most people have likely experienced workplace stress in one form or another, whether related to autonomy or the threat of dismissal, lack of control, or interpersonal conflict. People are also likely to understand and identify with Peter's CWBs, because unfortunately stress is something everyone has to deal with, and sometimes stressed people want to complain, mess up the office, and go fishing instead of work. I think, overall, people will have a few laughs and maybe a few moments of soul-searching watching Office Space, so I would definitely recommend it to friends and colleagues.
