Office Space

As great a movie as it is, I don't know that watching Office Space every couple days is such a hot idea.

Heh. Earlier this spring, our IT department did an internal employee satisfaction survey. Since I wrote the apps that ran the survey and produced the summaries, I had occasion to glance through the results. Office Space was mentioned in employee comments, but since the managers interpreting the comments had never seen the movie, they couldn't understand, classify, or relate to the comments. So those comments are basically not reflected in any summary; they're available only if people read the raw data.

Not that it matters, since the results have been released only to senior IT management anyway. Hopefully that's just an oversight.
