Corner Office Movie Clip - Plot synopsis: In this workplace comedy reminiscent of Office Space and “Severance,” misfit Orson (Jon Hamm) finds himself trapped in the absurdities of corporate life. As The Authority’s newest employee, Orson finds it difficult to connect with his enigmatic desk mate, Rakesh (Danny Pudi), as well as with the rest of his colleagues. His alienation deepens when he discovers a room he’s told doesn’t exist – a place that unleashes his true potential, leading to an ascent up the corporate ladder. Buoyed by his newfound confidence, Orson invites a receptionist (Sarah Gadon) into his sanctuary, sparking a climactic clash between the corporate world’s harsh realities and his own wild fantasies.

00:00 - You know, it's not every day that we have a
00:02 division-wide meeting on such short notice, but...
00:06 Carol here has something she'd like to discuss.
00:13 - Not just me, I think I can speak for the whole division.
00:15 We all think this is getting to be too much.
00:20 - What is?
00:22 - Oh, let Carol finish.
00:24 - Obviously, I was going to let her finish,
00:26 but all of a sudden, it was as if his supposition
00:29 that I had interrupted her--
00:30 - Thank you.
00:31 - Were true.
00:32 - Truth is, we're all getting worried about you.
00:34 - Why would you be getting worried?
00:38 - It's the standing.
00:43 - Didn't I tell you it was pointless to try
00:45 and conduct psychological warfare against me?
00:48 You can't bully me.
00:53 - What are you talking about, Arson?
00:56 - I have a feeling that this has its origins
00:58 in the fact that some of you may have noticed
01:00 that I have, on two or three occasions,
01:02 taken myself aside to garner my strength alone,
01:06 having a short rest in that little room
01:09 next to the elevator.
01:10 I can understand that, to some of you,
01:14 this may seem annoying.
01:16 Obviously, we all have work to do,
01:17 and we can't just take breaks whenever we feel like it.
01:20 But I want to assure you that I will always
01:27 take care to make up any concomitant loss of efficiency.
