We've ALL worked for someone like Lumbergh at least once in our lives...

Gary Cole is a terrific actor he never had a "normal job" in real life. he bounced from job to job so when he read the script for Office Space he figured that this Lumberg was only running on "one channel" just souless human empathy emotion all drained out and he NAILED IT.

Gary Cole gives me PTSD as Lumbergh in this movie. He's so accurate it's traumatizing. Even the sexual nightmares.

If Lumberg was an officer in wartime, his passive-aggressiveness would get him fragged. "Yeah, you need to carry out that frontal assault in the teeth of machine-gun fire..."

It must be terrible at be at a workplace like that. They definitely exist. I personally have been fortunate enough to have managers that do care and would go out of their way to help you and even celebrate your bday in any way they could. I did notice that it's mostly on larger accounts it can get like this. If you have a smaller team and you get along, you can even end up being friends with some colleagues and even some of your bosses (all depends of course). I work for a global real estate service and consulting firm with over 100,000 employees. I will say it was on smaller accounts I enjoyed it more but on larger accounts it can get very political and have more managers than they need. Even if the account is a major financial firm you're servicing, if your team is let's say is 12-15 people versus an account with 300 - 1000 people. You may like the "smaller" account better. Which explains why some choose to go to a smaller shop overall after they have worked at a big firm for years.

1:49 The look Bob Slidell gives Lumbergh, priceless. I wonder how long it took to get that just right. That's a talented actor.

It was a look of "You better come up with a good answer NOW!!"

I haven't seen the movie but I've seen a lot of clips, especially of the two Bobs. Reminds me of a company I worked for, back in the early 2000's. They wanted to downsize and brought in a team to decide who should go and what positions were not needed. My boss, a totally useless woman, who knew less about what the company did than I know about the workings of a space telescope, made out a list of who she thought should go, based on those who sucked up to her and those who didn't. At the end of the process, most of the people on her list kept their jobs, it appears to have been seen as a recommendation, while she lost her job. Her position was deemed unnecessary and they said that she wasn't competent enough to transfer to another function. At the start of the process, she had boasted how it had been her idea. Karma.

I’m listening to this while dealing with a real bill lumbergh

I manage people at work. I just became aware of this movie, and now I can't say "That'd be great," without feeling like a complete douche bag 😂😅

I once had a job where I was offered the role of regional manager, but had to turn it down because I found a better job somewhere else. To think what I ended up missing out on - wandering aimlessly around the office with a cup of coffee in my hand and no discernible work to do.

It wasn't a half day...

"I'd really like to do some paid overtime... paying time and a half would be good... but I've already paid for a hotel room in X... so I will need you to refund that... and the fight tickets.. and the rental car.... and the meal at the restaurant that has been prepaid that i received as a gift and can't change...about $300....plus tips.... Maybe next week? Sounds good to me but I'll check in with you Monday morning as I know the family has a celebration planned for soon so I may not be able to make it next weekend either. Maybe another weekend? Next month?

Lumberg is suppose to be 40/41. That means he is a product of the 80s business era. He is essentially a wannabe Gorden Geko. Passes off his responsibility of work so he can just rock up to the office in a suite and walk around looking important lol.

Yeahhhhh, if you could just go ahead and like this comment that'd be great. Mkay?

Swingline

Proto Patrick bateman?

I worked in an environment sorta similar to this, but in the medical field and it was the most miserable place I have ever worked! It was when I did a transfer to another dept in Austin, and worked in a tiny room with five other frowning, miserable women doing data entry. You couldn't have your phone on your desk, and if you did anything other than data entry on the computer, the supervisor, who smacked her nicotine gum, would walk over to your cubicle and ask what you were typing! You also had to email her and two other dept supervisors, if you needed to leave your desk and go use the restroom. They also had one of their brown nosing employees spy on fellow employees in the parking garage and if you were seen parking in the patient parking garage, which was free and much closer, you would get called out. I was so depressed in that job and ended up resigning a few months later, even though it was a state job with benefits. It just wasn't worth it. I now work as a private personal assistant on a ranch and my only coworkers are two dogs. My boss travels constantly, so he is never around. When I think about those times back in 2007 at that other job, I cringe!

Lol. Patrick would never do any actual "field" work, though. He just sits in his office and watches TV, occasionally attending company "meetings" where he basically just talks to his buddies. His father is also the CEO and presumably founder of the company, so it's implied he'll be handed the reins when he's older.

I don't get it? Is he a slacker or something? He trying to get his employee motivated
