For most Americans, technology is an indispensable part of both work and personal lives. Numerous advantages of technology include teleworking, which enables people to conduct business from their homes, cafes, and other non-office places. As with all good things, this also has a reasonable share of drawbacks. More than 30% of US knowledge workers reported working from a location other than just their workplace on a workday over the research period, according to the American Time Use Survey, which

In this case, KGDV has no specific guidelines in their policy regarding working remotely. Employees are given the opportunity to telecommute based on their level of outputs and telecommuters are solely assessed based on their ability to maintain and increase their levels of output.

The American culture focuses on independence and individualism, in America when a person turns 18 they are considered independent; whereas, the Japanese culture is collectivism and focuses on family (Adler, 2008).

In this essay I will be discussing the show the Office and its use of comedy to highlight sensitive issues in today’s society. Such topics as racism, sexism and harassment in the work place are very important, however pretty hard to talk about and arguably not discussed enough.

quirky “The Office” show shadows office workers of “Dunder-Mifflin Paper Company”, a fictional paper distributor in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Occasional one v. one discussions with the employee's, “raw” footage, and many humorously bizarre yet relatable plots that have made this series enormously popular. The show portrays some of life’s most awkward situations and not only does it make the audience laugh, but also delivers small dosages of life lessons. A comedic satire such as the “The Office” reinforces
Tenure is the length of time an employee has worked for an organization. This metric is calculated using: Total months “stayed” / Number of current employees (SAMHSA, n.d.). Rational: Average employee tenure is in close relationship with employee satisfaction and turnover rate indicators. As discussed earlier, highly satisfied employees have more commitment and loyalty to their organization and probably stay for a longer period with the same company. Giang (2013) says: "Tenure is how long someone's
Michael Scott, a regional manager at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, exerts a pattern of alarming behavior that set his employees to question his authority at times. In this comedic series played by Steve Carell on NBC’s hit television show, The Office, Michael is known for his inappropriate sense of humor and oblivious behavior to those around him.

He’s so creepy.” “I see the way he looks at you. That man probably goes home and rubs one out every night thinking about you.” Nikki makes a hand motion in the air, which gives me a visual of Mark jerking off. “You’re disgusting,” I say, as we both start laughing. Nikki’s eyes suddenly pop wide open as she looks across the

There are multiple sociology concepts in almost every film we watch. The one show that stuck out to me was “The Office” by Greg Daniels. The office is a show located in Scranton, Pennsylvania, about just “ordinary” life in the office, it is a considered a documentary of their life. It is supposed to be just the life in the office but we also get a glimpse of their life outside of the office. The main characters do not really change throughout the season, but one guy in particular Michael Scott (played
The American hit television show, The Office, expands upon the background of a group of individuals working for a paper company. It gives details of how their sales work, their work ethic, motivation, as well as their personal lives. For this narrative I want to focus on one of the workers, Jim Halpert, and his unhappiness in this capitalistic position. As the television show continues, we see how Marx's theory of alienation of the worker affects this character in various ways. As mentioned before
