Office Space

Yesterday in class, we watched the pilot episode of the TV show, "The Office". Michael Scott, the regional manager of the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch is a general upper manager (the highest executive at the Scranton branch, in charge of all departments), who is in charge of line and staff work (oversees sales and distribution, as well as financial operations). Michael certainly has an unorthodox management method (calling himself a "friend first and a boss second"), and even acts unprofessionally at times. For instance, he falsely tells his receptionist that she is being let go for "theft" of Post-It notes, soon revealing that it was a joke. This leads to unprofessional behaviour throughout the office, like one employee pranking another by putting their supplies in jello. He

The movie does a good job of presenting the average workplace – boring and political. There is especially interesting scene about the TPC report, where some obscure paper report employees need to complete becomes so important that everybody just wants to talk about it. Not only about its contents, but the proper way to complete it. Having worked in a few places myself and seen how documentation takes a life of its own, I can see why a creative, hard working, and innovative employee would feel bored and useless.

When they would have an employee meeting, each person was for himself. Ehrenreich explained how “Joan complains about the condition of the ladies’ room and I throw in my two bits about the vacuum cleaner. But I didn’t see any backup coming from my fellow servers, each of whom has slipped into her own personal funk; Gail, my role model, stares sorrowfully at a point six inches from her nose.” (24).

The quirky show “The Office” shadows office workers of “Dunder-Mifflin Paper Company”, a fictional paper distributor in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Occasional one v. one discussions with the employee's, “raw” footage, and many humorously bizarre yet relatable plots that have made this series enormously popular. The show portrays some of life’s most awkward situations and not only does it make the audience laugh, but also delivers small dosages of life lessons.

Ms. McMillian discussed the appearance of the Manhattan location. According to Ms. McMillian the office was observed to be unkempt as the carpet was dirty and the garbage cans were overflowing with garbage. Mr. Murphy reported that this location has a high volume of client. Ms. McMillian discussed the safety concerns for the location and reported that another site visit will be needed. Mr. Murphy admitted that the carpet at the Manhattan site needs cleaning/changing and was thinking of doing so; however he is waiting for money to come in. Mr. McMillian explained to Mr. Murphy that a child can get sick or develop an allergic reaction by siting on the dirty

Until one day he just stops. He gets lazy and doesn’t talk; all he does is stare blankly at the wall. When asked to do work he says “I’d prefer not to”. Then he starts becoming a hermit in the office, living there and never leaving.

Peter has demonstrated deviant and criminal behaviors by utilizing assumed names, burglary of other individuals ' property, exhibits no remorse for his violation of others property and/or feelings. He also does not have the capacity to be self-supporting.

She later discovered Peter was a high school dropout and a Gulf War veteran.

This was my first time watching the movie ‘Office Space’ and in all I enjoyed the movie. Early in the movie, I noticed the concepts of civil inattention and nonverbal communication. Civil inattention is the process whereby individuals in the same physical setting demonstrate to each other that they are aware of the other’s presence. In the movie when Peter didn’t put the new cover on his TPS reports, about three different people came and told him about it. The three people were making themselves known by telling Peter about the memo and the covers on the TPS reports. Since the workers in the movie are somewhat similar, the three people take his mistake as an opening to make themselves known.

You memorized your bullet points, practiced your hand gesturing in correlation with the slides, and cleaned up your PowerPoint so it was crisp but eye-catching. You bought a new sleek blazer, so everyone knew who was boss. It goes off without a hitch. Afterwards, your boss comes up to congratulate you on your work, and you just nod saying, “Oh, it was nothing.”

Being around Clarissa makes him return to the summer in Bourton and reflect on the things that happened as well as the way things could have gone differently. It seems that Peter is blaming Clarissa for many things. His confusion, a broken heart, and his unsure attitude of what he wants. Instead of confronting his problems, he continues to hide behind them and blame others for making him feel the way he does.

“Office Space” is a comedy movie of a man who desperately hates his job and his boss. The movie begins with Peter Gibbon’s daily life story at Initech. At work, Peter has to deal with his indifferent boss, Bill Lumbergh, who doesn’t want to listen to his employee’s feedbacks. Lumbergh seems to be an ignorant and arrogant man who dictates his employee and doesn’t want to be blamed at all. Moreover, Lumbergh asks his employee to come to work on weekend. The atmosphere in the office is getting more intense after Lumbergh announced that Initech is bringing in consultants to increase the efficiency of the company. Peter was very frustrated with everything in the office and he felt that his life even more miserable with each passing day at work.

Throughout the movie, we see Peter as this schizophrenic doing irrational things like cutting his head and nail. Peter barely talks so the audience can only perceive him through these irrational actions. With this, the audience is left to interpret the parallel killings as Peter’s work. It is only when Peter is with his daughter that he talks freely about his delusions and the audience starts seeing Peter as a rational human. (62:34) It is during his interaction with Nicole that there are no background noises, irrational behavior or delusions. The audience sees only an awkward father trying to connect with his daughter. It is during this moment that the audience starts seeing Peter as a human, suffering with Schizophrenia and the pain of separation between him
