41
42	A socially awkward top executive.
43	----
44	* AssholeVictim: Being an AxCrazy, sexual harasser who ruthlessly starts murdering other employees with no remorse when the experiment really kicks off, no one mourns him.

57	* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Capped by Barry when the elevator doors open.]]
58	* DecoyProtagonist: We start to follow her on her first day with the company, and has many traits that fit the mold of a perfect FinalGirl. [[spoiler:she's unceremoniously shot down during the climactic killing spree, leaving the role to go to Mike]].
59	* DontAskJustRun: She is the first to take the announcement seriously and go on hiding. It makes sense as being the first day she has no reason to trust anyone.

61	* IdiotBall: After evading death through the entire movie and even parkouring her way through the elevator shaft, she very stupidly takes it down to the lobby. [[spoiler:It goes about as well as you'd expect and she dies for it.]]

74	----
75	* OhCrap: Roberto is very creeped out to find out that Dany, who is an enclosed space with him, has already killed someone (by accident, but he doesn’t know that) and may be spared if she keeps killing people. However, neither of them turns on the other and the scene is PlayedForLaughs.

114	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/SeanGunn
115	----
116	* EruditeStoner: Marty is a flaky stoner, but he is a contemplative guy who does do a lot to try and think his way out of the crisis (such as by considering that the water may be drugged and trying to dig chips out of dead bodies’ heads to make a bomb and blow the door open).
117	* NervousWreck: He has a paranoia-fueled breakdown (implied to be made worse by the weed) and starts dumping out all the water coolers while ranting near-incomprehensibly.

157	->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MikaelaHoover
158	----

173	-> '''Played by:''' Joe Fria
174	----
175	* AmbiguouslyGay: The letter to his family/ApocalypticLog looks like it is being addressed to a spouse and children, and the first name on it is male (Declan). However, Declan could also be a sibling or other relative or loved one.

197	----
198	* PetTheDog: Despite being one of Barry's followers, he lets Dany go when he finds her hiding place. This turns into a NiceJobFixingItVillain moment when she promptly interferes with the attempts to execute more people like The Voice ordered.

202	!!Lorena Checo
203	-> '''Played by:''' Cindy Better
204	----
205	* FanDisservice: She strips down to her bra, but the context of the scene (tearfully trying to offer herself to Barry so he won't kill her) takes away any erotica.

209	!!Agnes Meraz
210	-> '''Played by:''' Mauria Shelton
211	----

237	* EntitledBastard: Oh, so much!
238	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:He forces Mike to give up his ThouShaltNotKill stance during the climax, which comes back to bite him in the ass when Mike has him cornered. He even has the gall to make a CallBack to that trope in a pathetic attempt to save his own life. It doesn't work.]]
239	* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Dies a well-deserved death at the hands of Mike.]]
240	* SmugSnake: Thinks he has complete control over everything, to the point of [[spoiler:having Mike brought to him after all the other employees have been killed so he can interview him on how the killings affected Mike's psyche - ''without making sure that Mike was unarmed first!'' '''BIG''' mistake.]]
241	* VillainsWantMercy: [[spoiler:Has the nerve to beg for his life when Mike is holding him at gunpoint.]]
