Tom’s people skills to deal with the customers (34)

Have you ever seen Office Space? The movie, a comedy, appeared in 1999 and is largely based on the dull office life. The protagonist in this movie is Peter Gibbons who works as a programmer for Initech, a company that makes software for banks, actually they are busy updating software for the 2000 switch. The Initech company is reorganising and has called in help from two consultants, Bob Slydell and Bob Porter. One of my favourite scenes is where Bob and Bob are interviewing Tom Smykowski, who seems to be a requirements engineer, although the name of his function is never mentioned.
