... so, if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?
Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour. I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime; so where's the motivation?

But ask yourself
Is this good for the company?

When I was a research student
I lent that movie to my supervisor (boss). The next time I saw him he wandered into my office and before I got to even say hello he'd opened with, "Hey djtrialprice, what's happening? I'm going to have to ask you to go ahead and come into work on Saturday. Yeah?"

I used to work
for a guy that looked almost exactly like Bill Lumbergh, only blond and with a mustache. Worse- he also had a lot of the same mannerisms and speech patterns.

I once quietly said something to one of the other younger guys there and he said "Ssshh." Apparently it was one of those things widely known but never voiced.

That was the company where they distributed motivational coffee mugs that said "STAR: Striving To Achieve Results" and had company awards for who kept their cubicle the neatest.

Goddam I'm glad I'm no longer there...

crap
Its sadly true how many companies realise that the best motivation of all is a decent wage
