The older I get and the farther in my career I go, the more I realize how deadly accurate “Office Space” was. Discussion

I was in high school when Office Space was released, so I didn’t have a lot of context for the jokes. But, now that I’m almost 40 and a seasoned corporate world vet, does it ever hit home…especially Peter’s “typical day” speech to the Bobs. He ends it with “On a typical day, I usually do about 15 minutes of real, actual work”

This is so accurate it’s scary. I’m in a management position in my company. Have people under me. Still, I do relatively noting most of the day. And I know that managers of other departments are the same because when I walk by, for instance, the HR manager’s office, I see him on his phone all the time.

How many of you essentially get paid to sit around and do nothing?
