So many good quotes and lessons in Office Space! I watched this in grad school about 1 year ahead of getting my first job, and it actually influenced my decision not to work in a cubicle based work environment.

As for our temperamental fax machine, I won’t disclose what happened to it, but I will admit it was a great off the books, team building exercise!

I’m glad you all like this movie! If I was stuck on a desert island this would probably be the one movie I’d want with me… partially so it could remind me that being on a desert island isn’t so bad compared to the alternative and partially because it’s just so funny.

“It was a “Jump to Conclusions” mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor… and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.”

Do you think we should try to develop and market this as an actual product? Or has that been done already?

Awesome article, Ryan. This is one of my all-time favorite movies and I’m always quoting lines at work. We call the corporate management consultants “The Bobs” and when I ask someone to do something for me I’ll add “Yeah, if you could just do that for me that would be grrrrreat…”

I think you’re on the right path, avoid cubicles like the plague and keep your butt in Hawaii.

This was an awesome movie! One of the few that I can watch over and over again. Why did you have to mention it Ryan? Now I can’t get the “Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!” track out of my head!

Regarding the cubicle culture, I have to admit that I’m probably one of a small minority that doesn’t mind it as much. When I graduated from college, I was thrown in a sales-y environment, and I simply loathed it! I knew I had to get out of it because I used to get nightmares about it. Even now I get butterflies in my stomach just recalling my experiences. Compared to that, I definietly appreciate the cubicle I’m in right now. But that’s not to say I intend to stay in a cubicle for the next 30 years.

But as you say, Office Space rocks! and I can definitely identify with its characters. And yes, I do have my version of TPS Reports!
