Day 83- "Yeah, I know him. I know him! He's my boss! He's my unholy, disgusting pig of a boss!" Office Space

Today started the last teaching rotation of this semester for me. I have all my grading caught up, and the end is in sight. We discussed complaint letters today and times when an employee could and should file an official complaint against a boss or co-worker. We discussed the proper procedures for this along with the format of this letter and what is should and should not contain. Office Space clips may have been viewed as an educational tool of what not to do. We had a nice discussion of how business letters differ from academic writing and MLA format and the reason behind it. The students were then given a couple of scenarios of complaints they could write about, but many of them chose to write legitimate complaints they had from either their current job or a former job. I was happy they could see an immediate relevance for this type of activity.
