Peter Gibbons, a disgruntled programmer at Initech, spends his days staring at his desk instead of actually working. His coworkers include Samir Nagheenanajar, who is annoyed by the fact that nobody can pronounce his last name correctly Michael Bolton, who loathes having the same name as the famous singer, whom he hates and Milton Waddams, a meek, fixated collator who constantly mumbles to himself. Milton had actually been laid off years earlier, though he was never informed and, due to a payroll computer glitch, continues to receive regular paychecks. All four are repeatedly mistreated by management, especially Initechs smarmy, callous vice president, Bill Lumbergh. The staff are further agitated by the arrival of two consultants, Bob Slydell and Bob Porter, who are brought in to help the company through downsizing and outsourcing.Peters girlfriend Anne convinces him to attend an occupational hypnotherapy session, but the therapist, Dr. Swanson, dies of a heart attack right after hypnotizing Peter. The newly relaxed Peter wakes up the next morning and ignores continued calls from Anne who angrily leaves him and admits she has been cheating, confirming his friends suspicions and Lumbergh who was expecting Peter to work over the weekend. The following work day, Peter decides to skip work and asks Joanna, a waitress at Chotchkies a parody of T.G.I. Fridays, out to lunch. Joanna shares Peters loathing of idiotic management and love of the television program Kung Fu. ........
