Thanks to Paul Shrier and friends at Azusa Pacific University, who are hosting the "Why We Work" retreat, this is where I am right now. Thanks guys! And yes, that's my thumb. Getting used to the whole iPad videography thing.
Peter, Why don’t you try to sneak out a few hours earlier?
Know how he feels
So I get this is basically what he ends up doing but if your boss tells you to come in on the weekend you can just say no
But Peter’s a pushover. He never says no to the boss.
I love that he describes the plot of Severance in the last 10 seconds of the clip.
When he’s asking if he could by hypnotized so when he comes home from work he thinks he’s been fishing, he’s anticipating “Severance."
It's true though. My brother told me ever since I started work i seem to be unhappier and unhappier over the last decade. But I didn't notice like a frog in water that slowly heats up. But I know it's true. Well thank God I'm out but trying to make cash without proper employment has been stressful. Doesn't mean I won't figure it out though.
Tell em no.
What's the point in working if you waste all your hard earned cash on therapy
Love this movie.
They took that “zonk me out” part and used the premise to create another show called Severance lol
I used to work with a guy that was the VP of the company. He would always walk around with a cup of hot tea in his hands. I never saw the guy without it
Well that's why Unions were invented so people get days off and don't do unsafe work are untitled to wage increases etc. what is the point of going to therapy to discuss your problems without actually resolving any problems then he wants drugs to cope because he can't actually go fishing on weekends as he should be entitled too. Unrealistic expectations projected on to regular folks makes them stressed and depressed.
If you have to play catch up, maybe you shouldn't be laying people off
This guy sounds like an ideal candidate for severance
Worked in an office before and it's both funny and scary how accurately this movie portrays just how soul crushing office work can be. In the company I worked for they had a monthly company "get together" with pizzas and non-alcoholic drinks, and the CEO would go through a list of birthdays anyone had that month and "work anniversaries". This one guy came up on the list which eventually lead me to decide on leaving - he had worked there for 27 years, and was NOT in a position to brag about, but in a more of a daily grinder type of position with low pay. 27 years. Every day. I spoke to the man later on and we ended up chatting about sleep patterns and waking up for work every day - he hadn't even needed an alarm for 20 years because his body naturally wakes up to work. I can only imagine the torment and despair I would have if I were in his shoes. I feel sorry for anyone still working in that company or any office setting for a prolonged period of time.
My dad worked in the same office job for 33 years. When he retired, he got a plaque. Then died 5 months later. I was almost halfway there (though in manufacturing, so 50% production area/50% office) and knew I was heading down the same path. A month and a half ago was my last day. People immediately approached me about other corporate jobs (including my boss, in private/off the record) for other companies. Let them know "nah, I don't think I'd want to do that either". Went home, watched office space, took a trip to the beach, came back, and started doing what I needed to work for myself on my own schedule.
Every day is the worst day = adulting 😂
I remember watching this when we were in the Navy and we were like, working Saturdays and Sundays already, check. Damn, he gets to be dressed all nice and clean, no filthy bilge work or 4 hour watches in 140 degree heat in the steam plants? Nice little personal cubicle and all just to himself, about 7 times the size of our rack and personal locker onboard ship. What an upgrade. We couldn't WAIT to get out and get into office life. Now 20 years later, I'm living the nightmare and sadly, I forget for the most part, just how bad the bad days were, at least on a daily basis. It's easy to forget I was working 22 hour work days when at sea and didn't get a single vacation in 10 years, but I still cringe and grit my teeth at having to go into the office and deal with the cubicle farm more often than not. At least on the bad days I can think back and say, you've had far worse jobs in your life.
Mundanity is it's own form of torture. Later perspective does it again.
So relatable ...
Wow thats messed up *holding in a laugh* Still say thwt line to myself constantly 25 years later
I love how overtime is treated so casually by bosses in general. Short staffed? Certainly not an upper management problem, so come in on the weekend for more overtime
I used to play Lumbergh's scenes for my mum to make her laugh.
Notice how unsympathetic his girlfriend is. My friend used to be married to a psychic vampire like that. That G-d they got divorced, and he's with an awesome woman now.
I never quite knew why it showed a DOS prompt when closing down the Mac. It actually would have taken extra time and effort to do.
If Lewis Nixon never went to war...
This part, or maybe this whole movie, is sad, but true.
"Could I come home and just think that I've been fishing all day...". That hit me right in the feels lol
His notion at the end of the clip is the exact premise of the show ‘Severance’ on Apple TV
I miss those days. When everything was simple. There was no cloud. If you wanted computing done, you needed a mid tower. If you needed instructions, you needed an executable, and you'd keep it for life. No calling out for license checks, no subscription fees.
This is me right now with my manager. Got switched to night shift for a month after finding out I was lied to about a raise. Currently looking for a new employer
Way down.
I love parsing Lumbergh's speech: I'm gonna *need* you... to go ahead... and come in tomorrow... so if you *could* be here... around nine... that'd be great... m'kay? just knee deep in passive aggressiveness
I always thought that there should’ve been a sequel to this. So many storylines. Hell I used to steal this other teacher’s red swing-line stapler damn near every day. Got to be that I’d get some kid to do it. Good fun.
I’m glad it didn’t get one. It never needed a sequel. This film so accurately nailed the American work culture to a T, it accomplished its mission
The horror movie “jump scare” sound when he runs into Lumbergh, lol!
Pete is the ultimate simp (before he gets hypnotized) . He doesn't even attempt to try to say no to lumbergh,
Gosh i wish there could be an hypnotherapy treatment that could do what Peter asked for. I would love to go through a day at work without noticing
A DOS prompt on Mac OS 9.... that part is funny. But I tell you, I was an adult in 1999 and computers were in fact, that awful back then. That was not an exaggeration. The only way to make it more realistic is that half the time you were saving all that, it would probably crash.
When I was 4 or 5 I was given the old POS windows 98 computer after my parents got a new one with XP. Holy shit it was slow, 20 years later I can still remember how damn slow it was. But the MS paint drawings I made on there were legendary
The old joke is that back in the day, you used to click on a program to open it, and go eat a sandwich while you waited for the program to launch. And thats only just barely a joke. 90s computers were aweful.
We should be Amish and raise cattle
I've seen this many times but I just realized that while everyone is leaving and Lumbergh is telling Peter to come in Saturday and Sunday that Nina is in the background 'please hold' ing callers still.
This movie literally scared me away from office jobs. I chose to live a life where I'd never spend a day in an office so I got an apprenticeship as a boilermaker. I left that a couple of years after I became a tradesman wanting more of a challange and so I joined the Army. After 14 years in the Army, with promotions and change of the organisation I am literally living the life of Office Space now. After morning PT, I spend my days in an office doing administration and planning.
His girlfriend looks disgusted by the fact that he wants to be happy.
I cant help but think that all his problems would have been fixed if he'd just started listen to corperate Vapourwave every morning before work.
The sign out front the office says he does insurance too lolol
F D R !!
all these dull, boring office jobs that have been recently (past 3+ years) converted to telework positions is a real life saver
Roger that thunder cat?
“ oh…you know me…ever since I started working every day’s been the worst day of my life” now can I please get back to work now it’s like it’s hypnotherapy. It feels like I’ve been sleepwalking through like the whole time guy. I want to be on cloud 9 chillaxing with god, not on the illusion called the “pink cloud” lord please protect me from satan flapping his wings in the ninth circle like please? It feels like everything I’ve ever done was a practice in futility. I’m currently not vested in love this much i can sense. Keep knocking nobody is home. So may I take a message on the answering machine type of thing. I want to be a positive standup and arise up up and away to the permanent affixed occasion kinda guy, guy. No negative negative opposites attract kinda guy.
I quite quit at work, and I turned down promotions and overtime
I busted out of work five minutes early today cause I was about to get some end of the day bullshit, and I was like “Nope, I’m not getting home late.” 😂
@@tbc9096 awesome 👍
This used to be hilarious. Now I wanna throw up.
What is the name of the movie? 🤔🤷♂️
Office Space
I find it funny that Lumbergh needs to look at his watch to tell Peter that he needs to come in at 9.
