[@TonyAnnechino]

I was in charge of ordering office supplies for my department, and so I bought a red Swingline stapler for a new senior project manager. He didn't understand the reference, and I never felt more alone than I did that day.

[@frenchyroastify]

They specially made the red stapler for the movie.

[@Get_yotted]

⁠@@frenchyroastifyI thought the story went that they reached out to Swingline, they said no so they just painted one red. And after the film it was in high demand that swingline decided to make it.

[@malvoliosf]

At my first day at a large corporation, in a middle-management job, I sent an email introducing myself to my reports, and jokingly closed it with “Have your TPS reports in my inbox by Friday.” The joke was on me because the company really did have TPS reports - which are apparently a real thing - and everyone sent theirs right over.

I think Office Space is Jen Aniston's best work. It's the one movie where she doesn't play the same character she always does.

[@SupaEMT134]

Jennifer was a hottie back in the day

[@silastanner3803]

It is ironic that this is your take because I was just talking about how Jennifer was kind of playing herself (as she often does) and how well she does in that part-yet several other characters are severely unique, most notably Steven Root and Dietrich Bader in their respective roles. Either way, the casting for this movie was and still is perfect.

Wait. I'm surely misreading this. Are you saying a guy from your office died in his sleep at his desk and he was dead at his desk for days before people found out?

[@XxTaiMTxX]

I think every office has one of those.

[@choosecarefully408]

This is like the Michael Douglas movie "Falling Down" or "A Clockwork Orange" where it feels like the message is So Overt yet everyone is missing it. How many people have to work how many hours producing food, clothing, cars, furniture etc. for those bosses to all have the luxury of wasting everyone's time ordering reports that produce more nothing? No thought given to this hunh? That seems to be the point everyone's missing. We don't grow our own food or make our own clothes. But at least the guys throwing my garbage into a truck provide _something_ of value. What actually is produced in any office, anywhere other than time-filling for the sake of it? Anyone?

[@wayneliebl1098]

I'm surprised it wasn't a couple of months. I mean, people are so slow to notice things sometimes.

[@sweettea527]

I have seen Office Space multiple times. Now that I have seen Silicon Valley, I see the similarities. Glad to see the clips included.

[@AutumnFS]

Loved this. Thank you! I have a couple of thoughts I'd like to share: 1. I may be wrong, but I think the name "Initech" was supposed to sound like "any tech", as in the company could have been any generic tech company in America at the time. 2. I personally think the restaurant Aniston's character worked at was based on Bennigan's, because their uniforms look super similar to the ones we had to wear in the mid 00's, when I worked there and we had two buttons we were required to wear when we were on the clock (one being our name tag, the other being a button that said, "We I.D.!") and we'd get harassed if we forgot them. I couldn't have asked for a better analysis in this vid though. At the time I first saw this, I was 17 and worked at Bennigan's and my dad had THE EXACT JOB the main character has in this movie, updating billing software for the switch to 2000. My boyfriend at the time also worked in IT, so all of us had a deep connection to this movie.

[@LuaanTi]

From what I've heard, the restaurant was based on TGI Fridays, and they were so embarrassed by the flair jab they dropped their flair soon after the film released.

[@SixTwelve-612]

I was working AT Microsoft when this film came out. In fact, MS bought all the tickets for my local office to go see it. Naturally, people behaved ... differently ... the following Monday.

[@chirazbenabdelkader7294]

Echoing many previous comments; Office Space is a movie I came to appreciate later in life, once I had sufficient work life experience. It’s now one of my all time favorites that I rewatch often ❤

[@jerkytoo8184]

I watched Office Space before I ever worked in an office, and I couldn't fully appreciate it's greatness. Years later, after working in several offices with a multitude of dysfunctions, I came to appreciate this movie so much more. One of the offices I worked in, required us to wear a button-down shirt and tie every single day. The reasoning was that we might have visitors come through the office, so we needed to look presentable. In the 2 years I was there, there wasn't a single visitor.

[@sashizakura9124]

Your take that Peter is just being whiny while his coworkers aren't is interesting, and I wonder if it doesn't reflect a change in the times. Back when Office Space was released, white collar corporate office jobs at places like that were easy to come by, and it seemed like everyone worked in some cube maze office like that. That was life in suburbia. I, myself, had about the coolest, most fun and creative pop-culture related job imaginable, and even I worked in a corporate environment that just felt...soul crushing. I felt like Peter spoke for the majority of us who wished we could break out of the absurdity of living in a cube day after day, tapping away at a computer, but couldn't because we wanted to be able to maintain our comfy lifestyles. Samir and Michael didn't complain as much, but they seemed pretty dead inside, too (well, maybe Samir a little less so, because he came from a different perspective - but that's the entire point, isn't it? Mike Judge's characters all have different, interesting backgrounds that are fascinating when they're mixed up and played off of each other!). Working in that kind of corporate environment can make you feel like you're stuck there forever, and there's no escape. I always felt like Peter was the champion for all of us cube lemming cogs in the wheel who didn't know how to do something more exciting with our lives without having to sacrifice the benefits (back then, health insurance was fantastic!) and money that came with working that kind of job. A lot of us wished we could just drop everything and go into landscaping or construction - or just something outside in nature where there's fresh air - rather than cube central. I mean, Peter definitely sort of came off like a bit of a spoiled slacker sometimes, sure - but he was that irritated, struggling id inside us all that broke free! I think we all felt where he was coming from, and could totally relate.

[@habeashumor9814]

One of my favorite movies of all time ❤. Also, there wasn’t a Liar Liar magical moment. It was a moment of clarity when Peter saw the hypnotherapist keel over, and he realized how short life is and that we aren’t meant to spend it in cubicles.

[@thomasb7347]

I think seeing the death woke him up from his slump and the hypnotherapy gave him the excuse he needed to unravel. A little bit of a placebo effect

Working remote in 2020 taught a whole lot of people that working in the office is a complete shitshow in comparison.

[@samwise1790]

I found it to be a weird experience all around. On the one hand it would sometimes be absolutely egregious to get work from people but there were always excuses and it was tolerated etc. On the other hand you found that honestly a lot of peopke can basically hardly do shit all day ever day and the company still basically runs the same, put in 2hrs a day and fuck off the rest and nothing much changes (though of course some days were full days). Really shows you probably dont need everybody tied to 40 he weeks to do the work that needs to be done.

[@dianecaldwell5237]

A friend told me the company he worked for remotely in 2020 discovered that production overall in all departments had increased significantly since employees had been working from home, so when other local companies had their employees return to work in the corporate office, my friend's employer sent out a memo to all employees saying they were to continue working from for another six months.

[@CMVBrielman]

Ya know, Peter is my hero. Breaking out of cube world to a meaningful life where he actually finds some joy in his day - even if it is manual labor. We get boxed into this 8 to 5 world of monotonous drudgery, a drone fitting into the business machine that uses us up, only to be laid off at the next business cycle hiccup. The only thing we strive for is that golden future dream of retirement... assuming we don't have a cataclysmic heart attack slaving away late on a Friday night for yet another Lumbergh.

[@jmominis]

I worked at an office much like that and yup, had a nail clipper lady. Curious points: When Peter gets out of bed on Saturday to check the machine he has grazed knees. I think that was filmed after the scene where he dives at Lumberg’s door. After a few takes of that he’d have burned his knees up pretty good. When Bob Slydell has Tom’s personnel file we see his surname is spelled SMYkowski but Bob reads it as SIMkowski. Either an intentional flub to show he has no connection to the staff or his delivery is so good they just left it in. When Peter meets with the Bob’s he does his monologue of his day at Initech and he says he only does 15 minutes of work in a week but I would bet that was meant to be 15 minutes in a day seeing that was the question but he delivered it so well they missed it or just left it. Always thought Tom backing out of the driveway was a great stunt and great editing.

[@p.b.4464]

I've always wondered if hypnotherapy works for things like verbal ticks! I hope it would, but fear it wouldn't. For this movie, I think they're asking us to just suspend a little belief for the sake of the plot. Believe in an alternate universe where everything is pretty much the same except hypnotism is very real.

[@jasongray797]

"Initech" is a joke on "Any-tech". Pronounced identically, is a comment on the universality of the shitiness of the office workplace, as shown, and a metaphor for the lost-in-nowhere gloom that Peter starts out in. Get it? That office scene could be AnyTech office.

In the 90's, computers were used to generate reports. If you paid attention, you'd realize what the reports were lacking, thinking management was actually using the reports, and you would create new reports, and the client, would then want both.

office space was a revelation, a life altering experience, like when I read a book by J Krishnamurti. you just arent the same anymore. I saw it for the first time in 2020 when working from home for a bank, it felt incredibly satisfying to see the madness of the office portrayed so well and such humour. I think the concept of work is mad, cruel, and is no different to being a slave except in some cases its worse since many who work cant even afford food or shelter. I hope one day, if humanity doesnt self desctruct, we will look back at this mad world in horror at how we used to slave our days away instead of enjoying and living. this movie inspired me to quit my bank job and travel the world, currently in portugal, not sure where Im headed but will see.

[@Psikeomega]

So I like to tell people that im like peter from office space. I have education, i worked in IT as a network engineer for 10 years out of college when that job market got swamped in 2008 and pay dropped to almost minimum wage because of it. I wored for a guy that needed help building a house for his kid, so I helped out to score some extra cash and help pay my student loans. When my full time work dried up, i went right down to the local union hall for the carpenters and signed up. Im actually making more money now, than other people in IT with the benefit of lower stress. F**kin' A man.

Personally I don’t see the hypnotherapy scene as a literal hypnosis. To me it’s more like Peter is lulled into a daydream due to his boredom with the situation, and then when the doctor dies it’s an epiphany for Peter. He realizes what really matters in life and it enables him to finally let go of what doesn’t. It’s like he was hypnotized by the absurd circumstances rather than the therapist himself.

Obviously, i think GREST VIDEO real authenticity in it. A rare and valuable thing.

I suggest checking out, "Head Office". ;-D There was an Engineer who complained, I didn't work fast enough, so one day I told him; "I've got two speeds, if you don't like this one, sure as hell, you'll hate the other one. ;-) After transferring to another group, I was in the previous group's building (looking at mock-ups) and was told by some employees that the Engineer was complaining they weren't as productive as I had been. While leaving I encountered the Engineer, who asked if I was coming back to work there, and I replied, "When are you retiring?"

Head Office, film or a tv show?
