Episode 36: Office Space

Uh oh, sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays! We are joined by Preston Monroe, the creator of the modern version of Showbot.tv to discuss the movie Office Space! We talk about how this movie has all the tropes of working an office job from the printer constantly not working to the cat and mouse game of having to bounce back and forth from HR to the boss and back to HR to address an issue. Preston shares his own stories from working an actual office job and how they compare to the movie. Plus, Preston has some useful tips on how to escape work early and Willie has a major problem with Peter’s careless attitude about showing up late to work, Preston provides some insight on why it’s actually super difficult to get fired from an office job.
