“I see you’ve only had 15 rambles this week”
“Isn’t 15 the minimum?”
“Well, yeah, if you just want to do the bare minimum. But look at Todd over there - he has 37 rambles”
“Well if you wanted people to have 37 rambles why wouldn’t you make that the minimum”

- e3bc54b2 1y agoRecently $DAYJOB has been moving more and more towards Office Space. But none of the young'ins are aware of it. So I just showed them the scene with the Bobs. Their faces were priceless. I doubt any of them came to office with same mindset again.
- calvinmorrison 1y agoMine certainly is. If my employees don't fill out their timesheets and tps reports how will I do payroll
- clickety_clack 1y agoBro, some of my employees don’t put the new covers on their TPS reports. Do you know how much we paid the consultant for the new designs?!
- rusk 1y agoA question I’ve always been afraid to ask: wouldn’t it be easier to do it yourself?

- e3bc54b2 1y agoWhen I told them the movie came out before they were born, yet depict their life damn near exactly as they were living it, their enlightenment lit the room anew hah. Someone please save my soul..

- mjevans 1y agoRef: Office Space (Movie) Flare at the restaurant (I believe it's a spoof on TGI Fridays / Chillis etc) If you have not seen Office Space ... It has a couple raunchy things and it's general political correctness calibration is circa ~2000 USA so go in with about that level of culture expectations. Having said that, it's a GREAT movie which is practically a comedic documentary of US office politics and tropes. Though some of the standards have shifted a tiny bit, the general culture is still relevant today in many if not most offices. The movie showcases culture and human nature more than any particular era.
- SoftTalker 1y agoIt’s so much like real work I can’t watch it. Same with The Office series.
- gopalv 1y ago> The movie showcases culture and human nature more than any particular era. Most of my middle management experiences has been between Office Space and Better off Ted. One with "Don't care" as an answer and the other says "Care more" as its. Those are the two extremes of the genre.
- imchillyb 1y agoOne of my favorite dialogs is from the pilot: Ted Crisp: We do everything: industrial products, biomedical, cryogenics, defense technology. Veronica Palmer: We want to weaponize a pumpkin. Ted Crisp: Then so do I. Because? Veronica Palmer: There's a country with whom we do business that grows a great deal of pumpkins and would welcome additional uses for them. As well as cheaper ways to kill their enemies. Ted Crisp: Well, finally, the pumpkin gets to do something besides Halloween. I believe this showcases, succinctly, corporate “ethics” in our society. Absolutely anything to make a buck and strengthen trade.
- echelon 1y agoYeah, but Obsidian is a startup. A remote startup. If you're in a startup of <10 people and someone isn't communicating with the rest of the team, it's not going to work. I can see how this feels dystopian in a giant corporation, but that's because everyone is there for the paycheck. In a startup, people are making sacrifices to make the thing work. They could get a higher paying, less stressful job. Picking a startup and not being engaged is disruptive.

- HappMacDonald 1y ago.. yet "being disruptive" is supposed to be the goal of a startup innit?

- sota_pop 1y agoThe work of Mike Judge is just eerily prescient on all accounts. Spooky and amazing.
