The company is more here the decor as the object

We spend more time with his colleagues with his spouse and children. Better to laugh. A TV for example. Adaptation of the British series "the Office", "The Office" "gives the impression of being in a documentary with real people, in a true a true business office, in a true a true suburb ZAC!", explained Nicolas and Bruno, the two authors-directors of these fictions of twenty-six minutes. Neon lights, false ceilings, wall, furniture crying carpet: everything contributes to the impression that it landed there when nothing found elsewhere, or, by divine punishment.

Led by a moron of competition, Gilles Triquet (the excellent François Berléand), the Cogirep is a medium on which hangs the threat of restructuring. Regional Director since 1997, Gilles, prurient single of fifty years, is "first as a friend and only then as a boss... and perhaps, just behind a clown...". . It is the King of the autocongratulation: "my friends ask me if somewhere I am not a great comic as a great boss." I say: it is not inconsistent! "For him,"déconne"and professionalism are inseparable. It has an inexhaustible repertoire stale jokes, anglicisms or words zero who are "young" and reinvents the aphorisms ("the shorter jokes are less long"...). Next to François Berléand or, more accurately, behind both it occupies the screen, three young actors are also remarkable.

In the same way, the exciting episode of the seminar on "management of the relationship" client is the pretext for a new comic situation as a denunciation of the (potential) through consultants.

The company is more here the decor as the object. One cannot help but think what would look like a fiction that is a ferocious criticism from the world of work, the image of "dilbert", "comic strips" cynical created by Scott Adams, Slayer of stupid and incompetent, cynical and opportunistic consultants and leaders of the employees themselves, veules and envious.
