Bill Lumbergh – Office Space

Everybody has had a boss that they despise, a boss like Bill Lumbergh.

At first Lumbergh, played by Gary Cole, does not sound like that bad of a guy. He walks around a stereotypical office in a tie and suspenders, holding a coffee mug, talking very slowly and checking up on his workers.

However, as you watch Office Space you will instantly feel distaste for him like his coworkers do. After hearing him ask different people to come in on weekends and get their work done something about him just seems completely evil. It could be the way he says it, stretching out every word and adding an “m’kay” or “yeah” every couple words; or the way he carries himself around the office, leaning up against whatever surface there is and slowly sipping from his mug.

Whatever it is, something is really disturbing and annoying about Lumbergh; maybe it is just because he is a boss and wants people to work all the time.
