True. The only thing I can say were actual sins here is Peter getting off Scott-free. Yes, there certainly would have been an investigation over the fire. Highly doubt that Milton would have gotten away with arson either. But one thing Cinema Sins missed was around the Tetris scene. In real life, Peter would have actually been fired right then and there on the spot for insubordination.

[@thedeepfriar745]

It’s taken to a comedic extreme, and Peter is a complete asshole. Honestly most white collar companies that I’ve worked for wouldn’t treat their employees so poorly and if Peter had really streamlined his his entire workflow to fifteen minutes they’d promote him and use his example to see how he improved work efficiency

[@RedRaider14]

Yeahhhh CinemaSins drops more duds than we realize...

[@alvexok5523]

@@ZetaReticuli_ Peter might've gotten caught, except that written confession he slipped under the door and then couldn't retrieve probably got burned in the fire, unless someone else saw it before the fire. Whether investigators would connect Peter's embezzlement actions to the fire or not depend on if someone looked into the payroll system and noticed or not before the fire. Back in 1999, would anyone have been able to dig up the payroll on any computers outside the business where all computers were destroyed in the fire? Businesses didn't normally contain their payrolls anywhere on the internet back then, it was all in the company system which could only be retrieved on computers inside the place of business. That's all different now, but this was 1999.

The 8 Bosses line is great because it represents the very real nightmare of having a whole level of people who are technically above you but don't directly supervise you. I've worked for a few companies where at any given moment a member of the C-level suite or a VP could walk in with a priority task. Suddenly you're looking down at ten "high priority" tasks and each person who gave them to you doesn't want to care about what the other people in the company want, or that you have regular work to do. And your superior expects you to handle it because they're gutless and don't want to piss off a senior staff member.

[@jdlee7490]

[@Trollificusv2]

Huh. Never knew that. Still a pretty opaque message.

[@badbiker666]

I never knew that. I remember those first HP Laser Printers, the company I worked for bought a shit ton of them. They were quirky at first but we got used to them. But they NEVER ran out of paper because my colleagues and I were continually loading them. The tray held a ream and a half, or a quarter. So when it got to a quarter ream or less we just tossed another one in. The ones in my department, at least. I expect not everybody was a diligent as we were.

[@kaitlyn__L]

@@badbiker666 that’s some decent design. I’ve used lots of printers where the tray is sized perfectly for the pack of paper. With only the tiniest of margins. So of course someone else spools up a 50-page print job while you’re waiting for it to get low enough to load a whole one, or you deal with half-full packs. Making it one and a half sized sounds so much easier.

They are, but the particular quirks by Ron's character and his friends sure have made this a funny, quirky, memorable movie And Jennifer Anniston's character and what she's dealt with at her job are quite realistic too really. And at 15:00, her "finally really expressing herself" looks good (at least in a wacky comedy movie like this) when finally telling her dickhead boss where to stick it, but in the real world you need to at least somewhat consider your future and know that having a history of walking out of a job like that may make it a little tougher to really succeed in business in the future. However, it is a movie, and a funny one at that. And I've always liked Anniston anyway, not just in "Friends", but in her movie roles such as this one, "Along came Polly", and "Horrible Bosses"

I object.. There was a people in persia that wove the best rugs.. they would tie 1 knot that was wrong in every one... Without it it would be perfect, but that is the reason for it being there. I may be an older generation... However the symbolism is easy. To do something perfectly allows no growth. It is complete and great. To take it back further it is why man/humans can sin. Because with no mistake no learning occurs. To say anything is without fault is beyond comprehension that we have. I agree it very well depicts the time it was made and i think they went light on the sins. They like it too.. So with that name i think they did ok, although they were reaching in places.

He made a little under $2 million after it was all said and done (which was an insane amount of money at the time), and he's been so wise with that money that he's never had to do anything he'd call work since.
