Office Space

Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer discusses the movie 'Office Space' and discusses the various relationships between an employer and employee that are featured. The paper examines the ways in which the movie represents conflicts and issues with the superior-subordinate relationship dynamic and how and why they are important to understand in business and communication contexts.

From the Paper:

"The relationships between an employer and employee, parent and child, older adult to younger adult, or any situation in which one person is culturally perceived to be in a position of power or "above" another person are all examples of superior-subordinate relationship. The ways in which communication plays a role in this relationship are complex and important to understand, especially in the workplace, but in many other contexts as well. Understanding the superior-subordinate relationship is made very clear through the various employee/employer movies that are found throughout the popular 1999 Mike Judge movie, 'Office Space'. The majority of this discussion will focus on workplace dynamics, as this is often one of the most culturally relevant areas where this relationship takes a forefront role in day to day lives of American adults."
