Abstract Anyone who has endured work as a low-level cog in a corporate machine should appreciate the acute frustrations of the eager young beavers who rebel against the system in Mike Judge's moderately savvy satire ''Office Space.'' The comedy, the first live-action feature directed by the creator of ''Beavis and Butt-head'' and ''King of the Hill,'' distills the pettiness of office life in its sneakily savage portrait of a quintessential middle-management boss named Bill Lumbergh (Gary Cole). Puffed up with fake jocularity, Bill epitomizes the smiley, buck-passing, back-stabbing, passive-aggressive office dictator who fears and despises his underlings while prating nauseatingly about everybody being one big happy family. The extent of that family's misery is amusingly revealed at Bill's office birthday party, at which the employees stand around scowling grimly as he cuts the cake and dispenses a cheer so patently false it has a sadistic edge. The corporation in question is a high-tech outfit named Initech whose role in the world of information is never specified. The eager beavers who mount a personal insurrection are three computer programmers: Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston) and his cubicle neighbors Samir (Ajay Naidu) and the unfortunately named Michael Bolton (David Herman). Needless to say, the pop singer whose name the character shares is the butt of much snide humor. The rebellion begins when Peter's yuppie girlfriend, a control freak and therapy nut, drags him to a hypnotist to ''work'' on their relationship. Just at the
