In many ways, Office Space (1999) is still the definitive commentary on workplace culture. Incisive, hilarious and unrepentantly direct, this classic comedy pulled no punches in skewering workplace burnout, insensitivity, monotony and beyond in a tale that still resonates with many young viewers today. However, on top of being a hilarious takedown of the workplace, Office Space is also a story about a man discovering the secret to happiness in work and life. In fact, Peter Gibbons' (Ron Livingston) journey takes him to an unexpected truth: the key to a good workplace and personal life is to pay attention to the people around you.
