Peter and the Bobs | Office Space | Gary Cole | Bits of Pop Culture

I think the Bobs are FAR more concerned about one employee having EIGHT bosses than any sort of lack of efficiency from a single rank-and-file employee.

When doge comes to your office 😂

gotta love how Peter walks around Lumburgh. that takes balls!

It goes to show you how many are reliant on the system. They think life is following and adhering to corporate policies and in Peter's case, he is realizing that he is not content working in that realm anymore. During the interview, he was probably hoping to get fired because he at one point had said while having lunch with the Chotchkees girl, "I'm not gonna go anymore".... However, he got lucky and got a job promo. It goes to show that these two consultants were impressed by his honesty because everyone else was scared by the thought of losing their Jobs by over-compensating....

If government employees would answer DOGE questions honestly....

I wish I could not give a f about things as freely as Peter. He and The Dude are people I aspire to.

This movie genuinely gave me confidence with interviews. I used to love this scene as a kid, and as I got older and started applying for more high calibre jobs I realized :

Its all about confidence. Walk into the building like you own the place, and chat with people like they’re a close acquaintance. It will take you surprisingly far if you can pull it off!

What i love....is this is a play on our feseral government and elon is exposing it. Elon and Doge are the Bob's....think about it.

listen, I'm gonna go...

Beautiful

I don’t know I guess 😂

I think the reason everyone loves Office Space is because we all want to do what Peter does. We live vicariously through him and its great to see everything coming up Gibbons. In real life we all know none of this shit would work for us so it's great to see it happen for Peter at least. Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta was a spot on montage. On top of the rest of the film which is fuckin' A.

"I avoid that bleak first hour of the working day during which my still sluggish senses and body make every chore a penance. I find that in arriving later, the work which I do perform is of a much higher quality."

-Ignatius J. Reilly ("A Confederacy of Dunces")

The least realistic thing about this is that the guys doing the layoffs are actually looking for ways to improve performance and company culture

DOGE coming into a federal building lol

DOGE

Just take this script verbatim and send the email to Elon Musk.

There’s just so much in this interplay. The way he keeps saying Bob😂

USAID

When DOGE gives you call....

If I worked for the federal government I'd send this video in response to that "What did you do last week?" email. 😂

Screw Elon Musk! Screw DOGE! SCREW DONALD TRUMP! 🖕

Who’s here in 2025 after watching all the DOGE cuts and firings. 🤚🏼😂

How many US federal employees are watching this clip this morning?

BEGEH Space out?

Doge in the IRS

Hi Bob!

This was me toward my Master Sergeant during my last six months of active duty. It feels good dropping your pack when your efforts are not appreciated and someone else gets the credit.

John C. Mcginley mannerisms as one of the bobs was pure comedy 😂😂😂

Office Space is the Loudermilk prequel

Characters being rewarded for being so blatantly honest in ways that’d normally get them in trouble is one of my favorite tropes.

Doesn’t happen a lot, but when it does and the joke lands, it’s glorious. Like Peter getting a promotion while Michael and Samir get shafted despite trying their hardest to survive the layoffs.

Why would they bring up equity sharing if they're trying to downsize?

"Looks like Im working" lol

As satirical as this scene is intended to be, it's 100% truth. Being attractive, charming, witty, and likable will get you so much farther in your career than actually being good at your job will.

I love the fact that not giving a shit got him a promotion. Most of the places I've worked at they didn't want the hardest workers running things. You didn't have to care, you just had to be chill at poker night to get into management.

DOGE in action at USAID. 🥳

I love that Peter ends the interview.

I am gonna do this with my hr

I did less than 24 hours of actual work in 2024. It's amazing I get away with it, the way I see it is if people don't give me tasks to do that's on them, what's the point in project managers and team leaders if they don't give the work out? I do the bare minimum and doing anything more than that just doesn't really make sense, I get jack extra for it.

When I laid into the company on one of those mandatory “anonymous” annual surveys I just got hit with more work.

I was mesmerized when i first saw this interview! 🤩

The way he walks into that room is how confident I aspire to be in life

At the end of the day, the Bobs go to bat for him against Lumbergh and the other useless boss! They ask the bosses how much time do they dedicate to TPS reports and they reply ummm ummm!

This movie is a microcosm Of how insane and stupid Corporate America is. Nobody is happy with their mindless jobs and ridiculous policies.

Life after 3 drinks

“Believe me, and this is a hypothetical”

At the end, Lumberg tries to talk to him, Peter saunters past him without a word. 😂

And he forgot his address book.
