9 quotesImpending Downsizing at Initech Discussed
Tom Smykowski
I've been looking all over for you guys. Have you seen this? I knew it. I knew it!
[gives Peter a printout of an email]
Michael Bolton
What, it's a staff meeting. So what?
Tom Smykowski
So, what? We're all screwed, that's what! They're gonna downsize Initech!
Samir Nagheenanajar
What're you talking about, Tom? Now, how do you know that?
Tom Smykowski
How do I know? They're bringing in a consultant, that's how I know! That's what this staff meeting's all about! It happened at Intitrode last year. You have to interview with this consultant; they call them "efficiency experts", but what you're really doing is interviewing for your own job!
Michael Bolton
Tom, every week you say you're gonna lose your job, and you're still here.
Tom Smykowski
Not this time. I bet I'm the first one laid off. Just the thought of having to go to the state unemployment office and stand in line with those SCUMBAGS!

Questioning Career Aspirations and Realities
Peter Gibbons
Our high school guidance counselor used to ask us what you would do if you had a million dollars and didn't have to work. And invariably, whatever you'd say, that was supposed to be your career. So if you wanted to fix old cars, then you're supposed to be an auto mechanic.
Samir Nagheenanajar
So what did you say?
Peter Gibbons
I never had an answer. I guess that's why I'm working at Initech.
Michael Bolton
No, you're working at Initech cause that question is bullshit to begin with. If everybody listened to her, there would be no janitors, because no one will clean shit up if they had a million dollars.
Samir Nagheenanajar
(smiling) You know what I would do if I had million dollars? I would invest half of it in low-risk mutual funds, and then take the other half over to my friend Sadulach who works in Securities...
Michael Bolton
Samir, Samir, you're missing the point. The point of the exercise is that you're supposed to figure out what you would (the printer makes a discouraging sound and then stops) want, to do if.. (reads the printer's display) "PC load letter"?!! The fuck does that mean?!! (he lashes out and knocks a paper tray off)
