And to think, Office Space came out 24 years ago. Funny how things come full-circle.

>And here's something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now.

>I beg your pardon?

>Eight bosses.

>Eight?

>Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation, is not to be hassled. That, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.

Cue some discussion about kids these days and "quiet quitting".

These days, Office Space is downright aspirational.

His cube is so big and private, and he can push to prod without going through change management! Heaven.

> It's not that I'm lazy, I just don't care.

My SO at the time didn't understand what I did at work all day until we saw that movie in the theater.
