What they forgot to mention in OFFICE SPACE

was that the two Bobs worked for Bain Capital.
And let's not forget what they did. Laid off Samir, Michael, Milton and Tom, and used the money they saved to promote a guy who only ACTED competent. Classic business story.

Yeah, but even without his stapler, Milton made out well - except for the salt. He said "no salt". HopeHoops May 2012 #1

I bet it was that bastard Dom. If he moved Milton's desk so that he could no longer see the squirrels that were merry, then he's capable of anything.

It would be great to have a steady job shuffling TPS reports around, where your only motivation is not to get hassled by eight different bosses, and you can appear to be doing your job with only 15 minutes of "real work" per week, and 40 hours and 45 minutes of "spacing out."
