Office Space

Workplace comedy classic

Office Space is a 1999 comedy film about the soul-crushing tedium of corporate cubicle work.

Directed by Mike Judge, it became a cult classic whose scenes—destroying a printer, stealing fractions of pennies, the passive-aggressive boss asking about TPS reports—serve as cultural shorthand for workplace frustration: This meeting is giving me Office Space vibes. (Lowercase office space is work premises.)
