677 Words3 Pages

Peter Gibbons is what one would call a company drone. He worked as hard as he could for a company that he hated. Peter went to see a therapist, but the therapist suddenly dies after putting Peter under hypnosis. Peter leaves calm and relaxed along with the idea that he is not going to put any effort into his job. There are days he doesn’t show up and when he does show up he plays games all day. The hypnotherapy changes Peter’s personality and makes him very laid back and blunt. Two consultants come in to the office looking to dramatically downsize, but when they meet Peter they are very impressed with his honest opinions of the company. They offer to put him on the management fast track; Peter was all for this idea until he found out about …show more content…

There one not moment when Mr. Lumbergh was actually a decent human being. I do not think that is ethical at all to have a manager treat its employees in such a poor manner. Each employee was disposable in his eyes. He harassed some of the employees and thoroughly enjoyed making them feel bad. No one would say or do anything about this behavior they honestly just watched it happen. I also do not think it is right how he just let some of the employees go without talking to them. One of the employees in the movie was let go years ago and never told, but due to an error that employee still got paid. When the error was found he never took the employee aside to talk to him. Mr. Lumbergh’s assistant was told just to keep telling the employee that he was busy and would find time to talk to him eventually. That type of behavior is unacceptable. If that employee has questions someone should sit down and talk to him. Lastly I think that all employees that are being let go should be given proper exit interviews. The movie is titled “Office Space” which is supposed to be a representation of the typical white-collar environment. It is clear that this movie was making fun of the average 9 to 5 job. I think that they did a great job it was a comical representation of how white-collar Americans in 1999 would go to college then end up becoming drones for the company that hire them. These company

    As in Buck, when the plaintiff was terminated from his management position and offered a lower role in the company, here Chigurh was given the ultimatum to take an inferior position or quit. In Buck, the Court cautioned becoming involved in day-to-day business decisions and that employers hold more discretion in terminating high level employees. The McConkey Court held, “where the complaining employee is in an executive position, makes top level policy and strategic decisions, and great trust is placed in his judgment, courts must be cautious in second guessing employment decisions.” McConkey, ¶ 33. This decision gives a spot on interpretation of Chigurh’s former duties, and it is likely that the court will determine Chigurh was let go for a legitimate business

    Moreover, how did upper management not put a stop to this outrage the very first time it was reported? I understand that investigations are required to verify the validity of an employee’s claim – but apparently, they chose to cover the conduct up, or did not complete the inquiry; thereby condoning the actions of those managers by lack of action. This only fueled their insolence and created an even bigger issue. I definitely believe the jury made the right decision and handed down a verdict that would not only punish the actual managers, but also punished the company itself.
