  • The Office” Sample Script
    “THE OFFICE” SAMPLE SCRIPT “The Masseuse” by John Chang [email protected] FADE IN: INT. OFFICE – MORNING MICHAEL enters and stops by PAM’S desk. MICHAEL Morning, Pam. Did you catch the ‘L Word’ last night? PAM No. I missed it. MICHAEL It was a great episode. Tim found out that Jenny was cheating on him with Marina, and Dana and Lara broke up. But the whole thing was totally unbelievable. PAM Why? MICHAEL Because. There’s no way that lesbians are that hot in real life. I know that we all have our fantasies about a pair of hot lesbian chicks making out with each other, but that’s just not how it is in the real world. PAM Um, o-kay. MICHAEL I mean, seriously, Pam. There’s no way in a million years that a smoking hot lesbian babe would come up to you and ask you out on a date. It just wouldn’t happen. I mean, I’m sure you must be very attractive to plenty of lesbians out there, but let’s face facts: they don’t look like Jennifer Beals, they look like Rosie O’Donnell. 2 MICHAEL (cont’d) That’s why the ‘L Word’ is just a TV show, and this is real life. And Pam, for what it’s worth, if you were a lesbian, you’d be one of the hotter ones. PAM Um, thanks. As Michael heads for his office, Pam turns to the camera. Her expression asks, “Did he just say that?” END TEASER INT. OFFICE - DAY It’s business as usual, when the entrance of an extremely attractive young woman (MARCI) interrupts the office’s normal placid calm.

  • The Influence of Negative Workplace Gossip on Knowledge Sharing
    sustainability Article The Influence of Negative Workplace Gossip on Knowledge Sharing: Insight from the Cognitive Dissonance Perspective Xiaolei Zou, Xiaoxi Chen * , Fengling Chen, Chuxin Luo and Hongyan Liu * School of Management, Jinan University, Guangzhou 510632, China; [email protected] (X.Z.); [email protected] (F.C.); [email protected] (C.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (X.C.); [email protected] (H.L.) Received: 4 March 2020; Accepted: 15 April 2020; Published: 17 April 2020 Abstract: Increasing attention is drawn to the effect of workplace gossip on the organization. Negative workplace gossip is a negative evaluation of others behind their back in the workplace. Based on the cognitive dissonance theory, the study explored the relationship between negative workplace gossip and knowledge sharing, through the mediation of organizational trust and the moderation of self-efficacy. The regression results of a two-stage questionnaire survey on 173 Chinese employees suggested that negative workplace gossip negatively influenced employees’ knowledge sharing through organizational trust. Additionally, findings also showed that self-efficacy moderated the mediation of organizational trust in the relationship between negative workplace gossip and knowledge sharing. This research provided a new theoretical perspective on the impact of workplace gossip, which has management implications for informal communication and team-building. Keywords: workplace gossip; knowledge sharing; organizational trust; self-efficacy 1. Introduction Workplace gossip is defined as informal conversation or evaluation (i.e., positive or negative) about a member beyond the person’s hearing [1], typically involving unproven details. Just as a famous proverb says, ‘Good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spreads far and wide’, gossip spreads rapidly and influences broadly.

  • WORK from HOME WARNING! If It Sounds Too Good to Be True, It
    WORK FROM HOME WARNING! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! You need to educate yourself and know how to recognize some of the tricks criminals use to target job seekers. Technology has made working from home an opportunity for many but it has also made it easier for scammers to target their victims. Here are some of the warnings to watch out for. • ASKING YOU TO PAY MONEY. When a job “opportunity” involves up-front fees or requires you to provide credit card information—RUN!! These payments are often disguised as application or enrollment fees, employment screening fees, purchase of materials or office supplies, shipping costs, training fees, and so on. Often once you pay these fees you never hear from the “employer” again and once you have given them money it is very difficult to recoup. • JOB OFFERS YOU DIDN’T SEEK. If someone offers you a job but you never completed an application, did an interview or inquired about the position, it’s not a legit company! Once you give them your time they are likely to use other scam tactics to steal your identity and/or your money and could even try to involve you in a criminal enterprise. • SUSPECIOUS EMAILS. Real employers don’t usually use generic free email service, such as Gmail, Hotmail, or Yahoo. Most use an email address related to their company’s website address. But beware that it is also easy for scammers to imitate an email address from a legitimate company. • YOU NEVER SPEAK TO AN ACTUAL PERSON.

Someone (usually Michael) says something cringeworthy and someone else (most often Jim) glances at the camera, slightly widens his eyes, and imperceptibly grimaces. That was weird, his face says, for all of us. That look was the central gag of The Office, NBC’s reimagining of a British television sitcom about life amidst corporate inanity. The joke never got old over nine seasons. Part of the show’s conceit is that a documentary camera crew is on hand capturing all this footage, allowing the characters to break the fourth wall with a running, reaction-shot commentary. A textbook example can be found in “Koi Pond,” from Season 6, when Jim (John Krasinski) finds the camera after Michael (Steve Carell) makes yet another inappropriate analogy during corporate sensitivity training. Don’t even try to count the number of times throughout The Office that eyebrows are alarmingly raised.
