This reminds me of the show Silicon Valley, there is a subplot where one of the main characters is unassigned from his own project but not given a new team or project. Just, unassigned. He wanders around the building and eventually makes his way to the roof where he runs into a small crowd of other "unassigned" employees. They mostly badge into the office, head to the roof and sit up there all day doing nothing of importance.



Big Head has always been an inspiration . Maximizing gains with minimal effort . If only I could make it work in real life lol.


when people slack at their jobs and just let other team members pick it up... it seems so scummy. Someone has to have a 'challenging' upbringing to have this be their default mode of operation.


If I remember right Big Head wasn't lazy, just clueless. The fact he unintentionally failed upward as much as he did was part of the comedy.


You should watch Office Space.

The main character is nicknamed "Big Head", just referencing his big ol' dome.
