Swanson hypnotizes Peter and tells him to feel relaxed and stop caring about his job until he snaps his fingers. He repeatedly makes Milton move his desk, and assigns him humiliating tasks, whilst making Peter work almost every weekend.Īnne persuades Peter to attend an occupational hypnotherapy session led by Dr. Lumbergh takes obvious delight in micromanaging all his staff in a drab monotone way.

Judge's 2009 film Extract is also set in an office and was intended as a companion piece to Office Space. Swingline introduced a red stapler to its product line after the Milton character used one painted in that color in the film. A scene in which the three main characters systematically destroy a dysfunctional printer has been widely parodied. Several aspects of the film have become Internet memes. It was a box office disappointment, making $12.2 million on a $10 million production budget however, after repeated airings on Comedy Central, it sold well on home video, and has become a cult film.
The film's sympathetic depiction of ordinary information technology workers garnered a cult following within that field, but it also addresses themes familiar to white-collar employees and the workforce in general.
