Boss From 'Office Space' Is Back and Wants More Meetings, Electronic Mail
Posted in: Uncategorized
The reviled manager in the 1999 Mike Judge comedy “Office Space” is re-entering the conference room for the first big campaign for HipChat, a free chat service.
To position HipChat as the most efficient way for company employees to communicate internally, “Office Space” actor Gary Cole reprises his Bill Lumbergh role to play the foil, with Lumbergh encouarging massive “electronic mail” chains and calling for more meetings.
The character reprises many of his “Office Space” catchphrases, and in one video mentions TPS reports — a type of document used in software engineering that in “Office Space” basically meant mindless paperwork. HipChat secured the rights to the character from Fox Studios.
