The so-called four famous guns and four dark arrows in the workplace

Those who are bright, vote for the peach and repay the plum, slacken their beards, advertise their wins, and bow down their brothers-in-law.
Familiarize yourself with these four masters, and you will have no disadvantages in the workplace.

The dark ones, spread rumors, squeeze out, plant, and put on blame.
The workplace is like a battlefield, just as if you have had a dream, then you can get by and get infinitely useful.

The overall feeling of this film is more life-like. Wehlner and Doug are traditionally mediocre, trivial, and mediocre people. Wehlner is full of elite consciousness subconsciously, yearning to change his life. Doug has passed his unconfused years, feeling a little bit disappointed and eager to try. For the position of the supervisor of the supermarket, the two were careful, playing tricks and tricks for each other. The process of the contest was not full of blood and gore. It was more the indecision and hesitation of the small person, struggling between reason and emotion, reality and longing. The struggle is cruel, the process is painful, and the ending is plain. The tone of the whole article does not deliberately portray the intrigue of "Golden Branches and Desires", and there is no "Da Jang Geum" style of determination to succeed. Everything is reasonable and expected.

Favorite details: It

has been accompanied by Doug's "Aspirational Tutorial", and it was finally smashed. A middle-aged man who feels mature seems to be familiar with life, but he often listens carefully to some "Success Learning Courses", which is really helpless.

Wehlner did not admit that he was a gymnastics champion, and finally somersaulted joyfully on the road. The depressed emotions over the years are finally released and the subconsciousness of the elite is temporarily satisfied. What will happen next?

    Little people, little movies, bad plot design...

    Scott's American style is too ingrained, and thinking about the change of life in this way can't be accepted for a while. Facing reality, the perception and the big truth also appear artificial and inexplicable, and the protagonist ends up with a series of gymnastics.

  • [after giving his apology speech at a community center following his incident with a gang at the supermarket, Doug meets with Richard, the board of directors and the community leaders]

    First Community Leader: I think everybody is feeling pretty good about it.

    Richard: Yeah.

    First Community Leader: It's isolated.

    Richard: Oh yeah, it's a one-time thing.

    First Community Leader: What's that?

    Richard: I agree, it's isolated. I think it was just some 'black apples'. We won't be seeing that happen again.

    [Long pause between everyone]

    First Community Leader: Black apples.

    Richard: What's that?

    First Community Leader: You said, 'black apples'?

    [Another long pause]

    Richard: I said bad ones...?

    First Community Leader: The fuck you said bad.

    Richard: Bad apples?

    First Community Leader: You said black.

    Richard: I'm sorry if there's some confusion. Maybe in the confusion, I...

    Mitch: Hey, come on. It's been a long day. That was a slip.

    First Community Leader: This is a lot of shit.

    Richard: You are not a black apple to me. I said, that possibly, there was one black one in the batch, not you. And I didn't mean to say black. I meant 'back'... 'blatch', blah... 'blapples'.

    [Long pause between everyone]

    First Community Leader: Where'd you get this fucker?

    [the community leaders walk away as Mitch follows them]

    Mitch: Let's catch up outside. I'll hit you with some gift certificates.
