* ButtMonkey: Jim Jackers gets mocked and abused by just about everyone in the office.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The entire collective narrator of the office staff could be considered this. With only a few exceptions, they are nosy, gossipy, petty, dishonest, selfish, and dismissive. But they are also capable of great acts of kindness, like making signs and buying a billboard to help find Janine's lost daughter, or visiting Carl and later, Lynn, in the hospital. It's clear that although the office workers have all the faults associated with a workplace environment, none of them are truly bad people.
** In particular, Tom Mota is a major asshole, and not quite in his right mind. Nevertheless, he shows more sympathy to the mourning Janine and the clinically-depressed Carl than anyone else in the office.

And drama ensues. Or hilarity, [[BlackComedy depending on how you look at it.]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: "The Thing To Do and the Place To Be," follows Lynn Mason [[spoiler: on the night before her operation.]] It is the only part of the book that is not written in first-person plural.
* AlliterativeName: Jim Jackers
* BlackComedy
* GossipyHens: The entire office staff, except Joe Pope and Lynn Mason.
* LiteraryAllusionTitle: "Then we came to the end" is the first sentence of Don [=DeLillo's=] ''Americana.''
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters
* MeaningfulName: Joe ''Pope'' is pretty much the most morally upright character in the book.
* MostWritersAreWriters: Hank Neary became a published author after he left the firm.
* SadClown: Tom Mota comes in after his firing in a clown suit, and starts shooting people with paintballs.
* ShoutOut: Several to Ralph Waldo Emerson.
* StraightGay: Hank Neary
* TheAllConcealingI: The novel--for the most part--is written using "we", and then ends on "you and me." It's only then that the reader realises they know everything about everybody except the narrator.
