This movie is about a guy working in a run-of-the-mill technology company and he hates his job. Peter, a computer programmer who toils for the INITECH Corporation, cannot endure another moment of the mind-numbing routine and petty annoyances that assault him day after day. Personal life offers no relief, as Peter is pretty sure his girlfriend Anne (Alexandra Wentworth) is cheating on him. Peter had no motivation to go to work, he had no value in his work, he wasnt energetic, didnt get his work done. After some help from a relaxation expert, the guy develops the capacity to become indifferent to his stress, and ironically lands himself a position of higher power. But when his friends heard it from the grapevine the informal communication network, that they were slated for downsizing, our boy and his buddies decide to get even with a money-making virus scheme.
Office Space, a brilliant, knee-slapping comedy is a desperate, witty, and to some, an inspiring rebuttal to the horrors of cubicle life, which is a hygiene factor that are environmentally related. The frustrations of dealing with the hierarchy of management in the changing job market. Peter plays out these emotions by knocking down his cubicle walls to achieve a view out the window, sleeping in most days, stealing a malfunctioning printer and demolishing it with his buddies, skipping work to go fishing showing up at Initech only to gut the fish on his desk, and finally, embezzling corporate money. Peters co-workers are subjected to dealing, not only with the pressures of the daily grind of their jobs, but now they must resort to defending their jobs.

The Downsizing Villain has shown its ugly face at Initech, the consultants. Management has decided to bring in efficiency experts whos intentions are to do the dirty work of weeding out the staff so that Lumberg, the cubicle warden, can keep his hands clean. At one point in the movie, Lumberg, has his employees attend a formal network which is a meeting to notify all the employees that they will be hiring consultants. Peter’s cubicle-mates aren’t faring all that much better. Michael Bolton, no–not that Michael Bolton just a guy with the same name–and Samir have recently gotten the impression their jobs are not nearly as secure as INITECH VP Bill Lumbergh would lead them to believe. Peter has a confrontation, which involves face-to-face problem solving with the consultants. The consultants are impressed with Peter, had the Power that is the ability to influence, and the Authority; he had the right to command because he told them that there was no motivation on the job, he demanded to let him go, and instead they promoted him.
The use of power typically requires political behavior. Rather than roughshod over someone, the effective manager often uses a well-thought-out political approach. In this way, the manager gets done what he or she wants, while causing the fewest number of hard feeling or problems. Research shows that three of the most common organizational political tactics employed by chief executive officers, staff managers, and supervisors are attacking or blaming others. Other political behaviors are designed to upstage the other party or protect ones own position. Milton, on the other hand was a isolated person, he never spoke out for himself, he was moved from one location to another, and finally ended up in the basement. Isolation occurs when people are confined to one particular work locale.
