PETERMichael, we don’t have a lot of time on this earth. We weren’t meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computers all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about mission statements.
Office Space, Mike
Judge’s millennial comedy of workplace errors, hit theatres in 1999 to little
fanfare; the film barely earned back its (estimated) $10M budget.
In video rental and cable re-runs, though, Office Space received new life as a cult
classic. The key to its enduring popularity seems to be more than just jokes. Office Space captures the struggles of
the modern workplace in a way no other film does. As the old saying goes, “it’s
funny because it’s true.”
1. A Case of the
Mondays?: Nope. Avoid inane small talk. It makes you seem simple-minded and
petty. Peter’s neighbor Lawrence said it best: “I believe you’d get your ass
kicked, saying something like that.”
