Office Space: Meeting with the Bobs

Can't help but feel like the corpos were refreshed to hear some straight talk for once.

After I saw this movie, I started acting more like Peter Gibbons. It actually worked. I worked less did less and got more promotions.

I never noticed the “Planning to Plan” on the board. Definition of bureaucratic waste of time…cough cough….our government

this is how you get promoted. the hard worker that cares n worries about their job, nope. the person that gives no fux gets the promotion. 🍻

Love the "PLANNING TO PLAN" text on a whiteboard 😅

Holy shit, this guy is describing me and my job.

Best satire comedy ever. 👍

Why are old films being cropped and cut

They took so much out of this film on Hulu

And they decided right after he's got Upper Management written all over him.

Funniest movie ever 😂

This literally just happened to me. I was a slacker IT guy for a little lawn care company that just got bought by a national company who saw my old Linked IN and found out I was an engineer. Now I'm an IT Director. My introduction to the VP was coming in all surly before the merger meeting and fixing the laptop problem he and my new boss couldn't. I even used I hope your firings go really well.

It's weird to be fawned over.

The "Planning to Plan" white board in the background gets me every time.

These guys played their parts perfectly.
One of my all time favorite movies.

I still don't get why Bobs thought that Peter is an "upper management material". Sure, he pointed out some of the flaws in the system, but it's very unlikely that the upper management don't know any of those. The whole point of most job is to make the workers do works to make money for the company, even if the said job makes the workers do mindnumbing works. And given that Peter confessed that he only works 15 min in the whole week, that's just asking to be fired.

Get told 8 times about 1 mistake, even after it gas been fixed already

I love how he addresses them both with just the one Bob. The thing is Bob......could be speaking to either of them or both of them 🤔 ha ha ha

Why Peter has upper-management material written all over him:
1. He politely, warmly and directly greets the Bobs with confidence and composure;
2. He sits down comfortably with a glass of water to make himself and the Bobs at ease;
3. He speaks honestly and directly answering their question without BS - he's a "straight-shooter";
4. He counters the main criticism against him - laziness - as actually a motivational problem;
5. He clearly articulates the top-heavy management problems at his company;
6. He accepts the Bobs feedback and motivational suggestions for a new pay structure;
7. He ends the meeting himself when he realises that they have nothing more to talk about to not waste anyone's time.
8. He accepts their role as consultants and tells them that he hopes their firings go really well.

Good luck w ur layoffs ok..I hope ur firings go real well. What a scene

Thats management material right there

If integrity was really a value we wouldn’t be here. Cocksuckers play the game and win

Now they just hire mexicans and muslims cause they can't talk back.

Nothing reminds me of my time in the Air Force more than this movie.

Let me tell you something about TPS reports... 😂

Er rer,.... "space out?" Hilarious!

Paul from Cheers and Dr. Cox from Scrubs. But this ain't about typecasting, they're both great actors with great acting career portfolios.

Just making other people rich while they continuously stomp on your face with a boot. The best part is, they spend their days figuring out how to make you grateful for them doing so.

I've seen meetings like this happen. Someone who knows their job (usually an experienced subject matter expert) gets called into a meeting with a bunch of management or "process improvement" analysts and totally shoots down all their ridiculous, self-serving ideas and lays out the process. The whole meeting gets short circuited. It's a thing of beauty.

Then Dwight schrute walks in the room.

The "planning to plan" on the white board, really is the chefs kiss on the whole thing

This is still so applicable to my everyday life it hurts

15 min of real actual work 😮😅

Yep. I asked for a modest 10% raise and was refused. So, now I do 10% less work to square us both.

I know the felling, one day you wake up and say "this job is not worth it please just fire me and save me the trouble of quitting.

This is so good my god

Every government employee if they were honest when Elon Musk shows up in a few months

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy

It's Dr Cox & the Sarcastic retired scientist from big bang

That’s how it’s done. You just go tell the high ups the truth about all the crap that’s going on in the work place. Because they know without you, they don’t make any money. Yeah sure they can replace you, but if you’re honest and break things done like Petter did here, they would rather keep you then go through the hassle of replacing you.

Elon and Vivek in a couple of months.

You see Bob..

After getting screwed by nepotism, I find this movie 10x better. F**k all the “Bobs”

I think the Bobs were more shocked about the "eight bosses" than one underling employee not working much; the eight bosses were where the real "fat" was.

this is how they found DR COX. They knew what they wanted years b4

👤🌏♻️🌌🧭

God makes me suffering just that all the time

"The thing is Bob, it's not that I'm lazy....it's that I just don't care."

They only need one boss and a department head.
