Do the 'Horrible Bosses' movies partly occur in office environments? I saw the first but forgot it.
I have not seen either of them. If the consensus is that they do not qualify I will delete the reference.

The Hudsucker Proxy ![](http://movie.info/movie/The_Hudsucker_Proxy_1994_0.jpg) "When Waring Hudsucker, head of hugely successful Hudsucker Industries, commits suicide, his board of directors, led by Sidney Mussberger, comes up with a brilliant plan to make a lot of money: appoint a moron to run the company. When the stock falls low enough, Sidney and friends can buy it up for pennies on the dollar, take over the company, and restore its fortunes. They choose idealistic Norville Barnes, who just started in the mail room. Norville is whacky enough to drive any company to ruin, but soon, tough reporter Amy Archer smells a rat and begins an undercover investigation of Hudsucker Industries."

The Solid Gold Cadillac (1956) It is the Annual General Meeting of International Projects, a large listed company. The board of directors are a shady lot, but none of the shareholders ever question their decisions or vote against their motions. Until now. Laura Partridge, a minor shareholder, starts to ask some pretty important questions, questions which the directors don't like. In the aftermath of the meeting, the directors are worried that she will form a committee of minority shareholders, and exercise some control of the company. In order to keep her quiet and in line, they offer her a job in the company, as Director of Shareholder Relations. The idea is to give her nothing to do, but Laura has other plans.![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MeqltUE6nVY/mqdefault.jpg)

Thinking about office movies and TV shows from the 50s and 60s makes me think of the wonderful character actor Edward Andrews. ![](https://images.findagrave.com/photos250/photos/2006/346/6718528_116604361829.jpg)
