>1st Bob: What you do at Initech is you take the specifications from the customer and bring them down to the software engineers?
>Tom: Yes, yes that's right.
>2nd Bob: Well then I just have to ask why can't the customers take them directly to the software people?
>Tom: Well, I'll tell you why... because... engineers are not good at dealing with customers...
>1st Bob: So you physically take the specs from the customer?
>Tom: Well... No. My secretary does that... or they're faxed.
>2nd Bob: So then you must physically bring them to the software people?
>Tom: Well... No. ah sometimes.
>1st Bob: What would you say you do here?
>Tom: Look I already told you, I deal with the @#$% customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills! I am good at dealing with people, can't you understand that? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
- louzell 3y agoI watched Office Space for the first time in like 20 years this week. Some of the stuff I never noticed as a teenager cracked me up. My favorite was a whiteboard in the back of the meeting with the Bobs with "Planning to Plan" scrawled on it. That hit home so hard.
