Particularly having to work both Saturdays and Sundays. We need weekends off, or at least one day a week off. But this guy is being told to work both Saturday and Sunday after working all week, and by the way he anticipating all week being asked, you know it wasn't t the first time he was.
"I...is...good for...the company...and I told em it was the last straw...the last straw for stealing my stapler..and I told bill I'm going to burn this place down.
I don't think that Peter's the only one who knows because Milton was on the phone with someone complaining about his desk being moved again and said to whoever he's on the phone with that he'll burn the place down.
This comedy makes it a great comedy thanks to all of the humor that goes around in the subtlety, in the background. Like the receptionist continuing on with the same one-liner "Just a moment.", way after it was introduced. It builds the world the main characters are living in, the atmosphere if you will, aswell as the emotions that are constantly toying with them. It is not only a funny running gag.
True story - I had a manager once tell us "Just like John F Kennedy said...'ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country' - Same thing applies here...Ask not what your company can do for you...ask what you can do for your company!". all the employees just stared at him afterwards.
You know I never really understood that quote, is it a call to action? or is it saying "YOU who already works their ass off should, not only pay 40% of their salary, but do MORE for your government." no wonder everyone stared blankly.
I've worked for a couple of lumberghs I've outlasted them all One found out I turned down the job he had. One the terminal got an EPO and a restraining order against. One kept overloading my truck. So he tried banning me for the dock. It was 19 pallets of boose 45000 lbs In a 45 ft van easy to load correctly Dock boss was an idiot.
1:28 I THINK that other stapler brand is Bostitch. Not Boston. At least from my memory of working at a huge office. And I preferred it to the Swingline, just because it looked more modern and sleek. The Swingline just seemed old-fashioned like a Chevy Bel-Air clonker, Heavy, too. And it had to be used on the desk. The Bostitch you could staple in the air by squeezing both sides.
they'd be about the same. I run into "miltons" all the time--if you don't look self absorbed, they feel they can bend your ear if you'll let 'em. i had one who called one time when i wasn't there, and took up my coworker's time for 15 minutes. another one filled up my answering machine--and called back 3 more times to finish up the story.
Milton reminds me of this woman who was in one of my former dance companies who had a very similar speaking style and personality. She didn’t wear glasses, and was a really fit/skilled dancer, but most of the cast thought she was a bit strange. I didn’t mind her.
Once upon a time, there were two dominant & mutually exclusive computer platforms -- Apple Mac vs. IBM PC.... The Mac OS was designed to be entirely a graphical UI environment, whereas the IBM OS (PC-DOS or MS-DOS) was originally a command-line UI. Even if you installed Microsoft Windows on your PC, the original DOS environment was still there, lurking in the background until you exited Windows -- at which point the iconic "DOS prompt" would be revealed, waiting for the user to type in a DOS command. The hilarity comes from the movie portraying a MacOS system exiting to a "C:>" DOS prompt, which at the time of the movie (late 1990s) was laughably impossible: the two different computer platforms literally wouldn't run each other's software because the hardware was fundamentally different & therefore incompatible!
Yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there. That's because I work at a small company with no middle managers and I think they're often not needed, and I don't want AI to take my job as an event coordinator.
AI would be the WORST boss ever.. It would be coded to be cruel and calculating - even more so than today's bosses. There are some good middle managers out there - mine for example is great. I'd hate to lose her.
If you're having a hard time in your life, remember that God is with you right by your side, so always remember that you're never alone and never give up for God is always with you even in your hardest times and always pray.

There are scenes in this movie that just make my skin crawl. It's such a drab, soul-sucking, indifferent environment.
Back to work, slave

@alvexok5523 which is illegal
Every corporate interaction I've ever had in my jobs is exactly like this
Milton, as he burns down the company: Is this good for the company?
It was the last straw
"I...is...good for...the company...and I told em it was the last straw...the last straw for stealing my stapler..and I told bill I'm going to burn this place down.
Milton better stay on holiday in Mexico because if he goes back to the USA he’s goring to be arrested for arson.
Probably is good for the company :p
Haha..funny
Such subtle stuff, like Lumbergh stretching in front of Peter as he's ordering him to come into work on the weekend. It's a dominance display.
Great movie. He didn't have to wait till the computer shut down, but I understand this way it builds up the tension.
The look on the guy at 0:53 after learning about Hawaiian shirt day lol
oh yeah, he really knows where that Hawaiian shirt belongs, too :)
@@albertgaspar627 Up Lumbergh's ass!
I think my favorite part of the movie is when Milton finally burns the place down. And I think Peter is the only person that knows he did it xD
Just now I realized that Milton warned that he would do that (1:36).
I don't think that Peter's the only one who knows because Milton was on the phone with someone complaining about his desk being moved again and said to whoever he's on the phone with that he'll burn the place down.
@@alvexok5523 he was on the phone with Peter.

I know the feels of that loading bar too well now.
I didn’t realize that Milton was talking on the phone with Peter about the squirrels
They were married.
I think I need to re-watch this movie. Saw it as a kid, but, man, now that I'm an adult, Milton keeps popping in my head more and more often :D

Three different Lumberghs that I had a chance to give a "two week notice to ...aaahh the memories!
I've worked for a couple of lumberghs
I've outlasted them all
One found out I turned down the job he had. One the terminal got an EPO and a restraining order against.
One kept overloading my truck. So he tried banning me for the dock.
It was 19 pallets of boose 45000 lbs

Dock boss was an idiot.
You dont give 2 weeks notice to a Lumbergh, you quit on the spot and leave.

Sounds like you might oughta go back..
i wonder about the kind of other conversations milton had with peter.. since he felt comfortable calling him .. i assume milton called peter
It seems to me that Milton just wanted to talk to whoever he thought he could "grab" his attention.
they'd be about the same.

You feel sorry for them. I did. Usually no fire in the sky. Just someone wanting tobe seen.@@albertgaspar627

Did she set the theater on fire? 🔥
@@juliusquasar1565 No. I never heard her make any threats. Edit to add, I just found out she’s married now, and has a daughter.

It’s scenes like this make me happy I never had a real job

Don't you just love the idea of the classic macOS going down to the classic DOS prompt. So silly.

@@zenkim6709 boy i really hope someone got fired for that blunder.
Did this scene come out at the same time as the scene with Neo getting chased by Agents in his cube job? The parallels are too hilarious to ignore.
There’s actually someone that did a mash up of the two scenes, where it’s Neo sneaking around and trying to avoid Lumburg. It’s freaking hilarious.
@@hisdudeness8328HA, that is awesome! I actually never saw that before and it’s great!
As I’ve read before, this is not a movie, it’s a documentary
He said he'd burn down the building over a company phone
Every time I see that stapler, I wonder good it would look encased in jello? 😉
Love my swingline stapler
Bostitch for me!
this always reminded me of the office hiding scene in the opening of The Matrix which came out just a month after this, equally intense lol
Just had “Consulates” at my work and they used up 1.5 million in our budget.
Waste of resources.
Worthless right!?
The music is genius in this scene 🤣
How can this not anger you?
Cringeworthy and so right on.
That boss is sneaky
"I have people skills!!!"
hello peter...
what's happening!
He did give them least 2 weeks notice.
Where was Peter headed? Going to give Milton a ride to the gas station, may---be?
What an ineffective manager
I refuse to believe that the actor who plays Milton is Means from Boardwalk Empire
Did an image search to refresh my memory. Cripes, a fantastic actor.
Pretty damn😅 good for Milton!
This is paradise compared to working in East Asia
How?
I believe you have my stapler
I am so glad AI will take over middle management jobs.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there.
That's because I work at a small company with no middle managers and I think they're often not needed, and I don't want AI to take my job as an event coordinator.
Screw that let it run as CEO. Don't need to pay it 28 million a year or provide bonus incentives- Account and managment
PS it can have my job as well
AI would be the WORST boss ever.. It would be coded to be cruel and calculating - even more so than today's bosses. There are some good middle managers out there - mine for example is great. I'd hate to lose her.
@bkraft Companies rly are nothing but AI tbh. They have one line code of written.
Line go up by any cost
If you're having a hard time in your life, remember that God is with you right by your side, so always remember that you're never alone and never give up for God is always with you even in your hardest times and always pray.

Hah .. yeah, office work can suck. shared pain makes for great stories. then move on .. to other stories.
Only Anton Chigurh can get Milton!
