Office Space: It's funny 'cause it's true. It's funny AND true.
You see Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. --Peter Gibbons, Office Space
To introduce this week's topic I shall use my second-favorite movie quote of all time.
Peter Gibbons: 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? And here's another thing, I have eight different bosses right now.
Bob Porter: Eight?
Peter Gibbons: Eight, Bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled, that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.
