Another great mention. That movie nailed the corporate culture of the 1990s. And yes, you really have to have worked in the cubicle jungles of a big corporation to fully appreciate that movie. Every big corporation had at least a few Bill Lumberg types who seemed to do absolutely nothing but walk around the cubicles harassing the hell out of the worker bees. For a while, red staplers would quietly appear on the desks of employees who needed to "step it up a notch" and be more of a team player. It was mostly in good humor but one of the recipients complained and so HR put out a memo ordering the practice to stop.
The TV show "The Office" is also a great show that parodies corporate culture. That show hits home for me because I work in a company where we have multiple branches with a big corporate HQ that would - at least before the pandemic - spew suits to the branches for "quarterly reviews" and HR initiated seminars for the employees. One time with hilarious results, we were subjected to a "safe driving" seminar after a slew of fender benders with company vehicles. After the seminar, one of the employees collided in the parking lot with the poor HR woman that was sent to conduct the course!
Funny, funny stuff!
I’ve seen “The Office”, it is funny,but I’m not a devoted fan.
I have NOT seen “Office Space”. I will have to ask my daughter on Thursday if she’s seen it-she is in HR.
