:35:00
You must be Peter Gibbons.
:35:01
Uh-huh. Terrific.
:35:03
I'm Bob Slydell. This is
my associate Bob Porter.
:35:05
PETER: Oh, hi, Bob. Bob.
:35:07
SLYDELL: Grab a seat
and join us for a minute or two.
:35:11
You see, what we're
actually trying to do here...
:35:13
is we're just,
we're trying to get a feel...
:35:16
for how people spend their day
at work.
:35:18
So if you would...
:35:19
would you walk us through
a typical day for you?
:35:24
-Yeah.
-Great.
:35:26
PETER: Well, I generally come in
at least fifteen minutes late.
:35:30
Uh, I use the side door.
:35:33
That way Lumbergh can't see me.
:35:36
And after that, I just sort of
space out for about an hour.
:35:40
PORTER: Uh, "space out"?
:35:42
PETER: Yeah.
:35:43
I just stare at my desk.
:35:45
But it looks like I'm working.
:35:47
I do that for probably
another hour after lunch, too.
:35:51
I'd say in a given week...
:35:53
I probably only do
about fifteen minutes...
:35:54
of real, actual work.
:35:59
SLYDELL: Peter,
would you be a good sport...
:36:02
and indulge us and just...
:36:04
tell us a little more?
:36:05
Oh, yeah.
:36:07
Let me tell you something
about T.P.S. reports.
:36:11
Ahh...
:36:12
The thing is, Bob,
it's not that I'm lazy.
:36:15
It's that I just don't care.
:36:17
PORTER: Don't...don't care?
:36:20
It's a problem of motivation,
all right?
:36:22
Now, if I work my ass off...
:36:24
and lnitech
ships a few extra units...
:36:26
I don't see another dime.
:36:28
So where's the motivation?
:36:30
And here's something else,
Bob...
:36:32
I have eight different bosses
right now.
:36:34
-I beg your pardon?
-Eight bosses.
:36:35
-Eight?
-Eight, Bob.
:36:36
So that means that
when I make a mistake...
:36:39
I have eight different people
coming by to tell me about it.
:36:43
That's my only real motivation,
is not to be hassled.
:36:46
That and the fear
of losing my job.
:36:48
But you know, Bob...
:36:49
that'll only make someone
work just hard enough...
:36:51
not to get fired.
:36:53
SLYDELL: Would you bear with me
for just a second, please?
:36:56
PETER: OK.
:36:59
SLYDELL: What if--
and believe me...
