Argumentation Position Paper
“Office Space”
All three of them work for a software company named Initech. Peter (the main character)
The company then invites two consultants “The Bobs” as they are known. To audit the workers on what their jobs are. Peter shows up, not aware about the interview and actually impresses the consultants with his honesty and candor about not caring about his job. In turn they recommend he gets placed in a management position, to his surprise. In real life it would be universally doubtful that someone would be praised for their unconformity. A person would likely be fired for sharing those feelings without consequence, especially when they are trying to justify their job.
Peter befriends a waitress Joanna at the local eatery Chotzkies. The restaurant resembles a restaurant/ pub, where you can sit casually, drink and eat dinner. The waiter Brian, represents the over achiever who impresses his boss by wearing “flair”, dozens of pins attached to the uniforms suspenders. An act that exemplifies the happy go lucky, were here to serve, what can I get for you, annoying attitude. A profession in which the employees probably didn’t chose by choice, but by necessity. Joanna looks like she was once the popular hottie in her younger years, she most likely dated the jock instead of the nerd, but know stuck at Chotzkies serving food and drinks.
Peter takes his friend Michael to a bar to inform him that he and Samir are going to be terminated. While sitting at the bar drinking Dos XX beers. Michael gets very pissed and hatches a plan to steal money from the company that would go on over several years without Initech finding out. But they would need Samir’s help and expertise.
Surely everyone would agree to steal money from their employer, if they had a full proof way of not getting caught. However in this story line the misplacement of the decimal point, resulted in them getting over three hundred thousand dollars...
