A caricature of corporate management, Lumbergh is a division Vice President of the software company Initech, based in Texas, and serves as the main antagonist of the film. He drives a blue Porsche 911 SC with a vanity license plate "MY PRSHE". He wears a two-tone shirt and suspenders with a belt – a fashion faux pas – as well as an MIT college class ring. According to his Initech Employee’s Personnel File, Lumbergh graduated from MIT with a BS in Physics. Lumbergh is a micromanager who is focused on busy work and paperwork, notably TPS reports. He has been described as "the antithesis of the motivational management leadership ideal".[1] He greets subordinates with an unenthusiastic "What's happening?", and when asking an employee to do an unpleasant task, starts the sentence with, "I'm gonna need you to", or "If you could go ahead and", as well as ending these requests with "that'd be great/terrific" and "mmmkay?" A Wharton Journal article said that the character "brilliantly exposed the emptiness of linguistic conventions at work."[2] Social historian Joe Moran writes that Lumbergh's "non-confrontational" communication style "masks the reality of management coercion".[3] References1. ^{{cite book | last=Green | first=Doyle | title=The American Worker on Film: A Critical History, 1909-1999 | publisher=McFarland & Company | year=2010 | pages=191–92 | isbn=978-0-7864-4734-3}} 2. ^{{cite news | first=Douglas | last=Cole | title=Why we should remember Bill Lumbergh | url=http://media.www.whartonjournal.com/media/storage/paper201/news/2007/02/12/Perspectives/Why-We.Should.Remember.Bill.Lumbergh-2716395.shtml | date=February 12, 2007 | archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20070312064835/http://media.www.whartonjournal.com/media/storage/paper201/news/2007/02/12/Perspectives/Why-We.Should.Remember.Bill.Lumbergh-2716395.shtml| archivedate= 12 March 2007 | deadurl= no}} 3. ^{{cite book | last=Moran | first=Joe | title=Reading the Everyday | publisher=Taylor & Francis | year=2005 | pages=38 | isbn=978-0-415-31708-5}} External links
