Line 27:
== [[Literature]] ==
* Vernon Dursley in ''[[Harry Potter]]''. His company makes drills
** Vernon's position appears to be that of [[Pointy-Haired Boss]], rather than an office drone.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
* In the Italian [[Black Comedy]] [[Work Com]] ''[[Camera Cafe]]'', many characters are borderline [[Workaholic|workaholics]], with [[Butt Monkey|Silvano]] being the most obvious example.
* [[The Drew Carey Show|Drew Carey]] and his co-workers on his show.
* For the first seven years of ''[[Friends]]'', Chandler Bing worked an unstated office job at an unknown company. [[Lampshade Hanging|Even Rachel and Monica don't know what he does]]. Whatever it was, he was important enough to have his own office
** He started (in the first season) in a cubicle processing data related to resource utilization, and was soon promoted to a supervisory position in the same company and department.
* Edward Borman in ''[[The Mercury Men]]''.
* Most of the cast of ''[[The Office]]'', both [[The BBC|British]] and [[NBC|American]] versions. Unlike some of the other examples here, we do know Wernham-Hogg/Dunder Mifflin's business: they sell paper
** However, that fact is, at the end of the day, more or less irrelevant to the story, as evidenced by the fact that the [[Trans Atlantic Equivalent|German equivalent]], ''[[Stromberg]]'', is set at an insurance firm, with essentially no change to the dynamics or humor of the show (except being ''[[Captain Obvious|much]]'' [[German Humour|more German]]).
* The cast of the Fred Savage show ''Working'', which not only left the workers' positions and duties vague, but never explained what, if anything, the '''company''' did.
