Preach on, brother.
I saw it in the theater when it came out and thought it was funny but obvious over-the-too satire. I was at a small company at the time.
About two months ago I decided to watch something and it popped up on the suggested items. I figured what the he’ll and watched it for the second time ever.
I work for a megacorp and have for most of the last decade.
If anything, office space is too subtle. Instead, I realize now that my reality would be so insane as to be considered unrealistic and too exaggerated. Even “Disrupted” doesn’t actually capture the insanity, dysfunction, etc.
I have joked/threatened for a few years that I would write a book about this place but as I compile an outline I keep asking myself if anyone who hadn’t already had the same experience would believe any of it. The mountain of mediocrity, sure, but the intrigues, scheming, backstabbing, insane and systemic incompetence in every domain? No way.
