** Peter knocks down one of his cubicle walls as a sign of rebellion against management. However, as open-plan offices become more popular, it's been found that they only make it easier for management to watch and control workers, which increases stress. Many workers in open-plan offices actually prefer cubicles for some semblance of privacy.

Not Nina. Different character, played by different actress.


** Peter and Lawrence react negatively to Nina's rather blissful dismissal of Peter's feelings ("Somebody has a case of the Mondays") as empty garbage. Nowadays with awareness of issues like depression, toxic positivity and the questionable success of self-help, more people are inclined to side with Peter and Lawrence.

** Office Space is also a spiritual (and somewhat [[GenderFlip gender flipped]]) sequel to the 1980 office comedy, Film/NineToFive. Both films take place in a souless corporate environment, with horrible managers, where the abused and neglected employees get revenge on their awful bosses.

** Has one in ''Film/HorribleBosses''. Both films feature workers setting up revenge plots on their bosses and have Creator/JenniferAniston in the cast. (The second one has her as a villain rather than love interest.)
** Mike Judge's later work ''Extract'' also touches on several of the same themes of a put-upon guy trapped in an unsatisfying working and personal life at a small business, except this time it's shown from the perspective of the boss instead of the employee. Incidentally, ''Extract'' features Creator/JasonBateman, who was also in ''Horrible Bosses''.
** The Creator/ComedyCentral workplace comedy ''Series/{{Workaholics}}'' has been been described as "''Office Space'' on drugs."
** ''Series/SiliconValley'' is the closest thing to an ''Office Space'' sequel you'll likely ever see.

* CultClassic: 20th Century Fox had no idea how to market the film, resulting in it just barely breaking even on its original release. Once it hit home video and aired on Creator/ComedyCentral, it became a cult classic.
