I suspect he mainly had to figure out that it’s the same as everywhere else, but the displayed politeness of office managers make it especially delectable satire.
In Office Space there is the «pieces of flair» argument with the waitress (Aniston), it’s much more bitter, and I suspect much harder to keep it funny, because in truth those worker endured much more violent management, there is little space to spin it in a funny way.
- samstave 4y agoYeah.... I'm going to have to ask you to come in on Sunday... thanks.... -- When I was an early IT manager my team would make fun of me and compare me to the manager from office space... because I would always say "thanks" when I would ask them for something... But I learned to say "thanks" because at Intel - in the 90's it was company culture to always close an email with "thanks" When I worked at FB though it was a hostile environment. so no Thanks.
- blaser-waffle 4y ago> because in truth those worker endured much more violent management, there is little space to spin it in a funny way. what? no one got beat over flair, and having worked in a lot of serving jobs, the level of violence serving drinks was roughly on par with the number of fights I've seen in the data center.
