''This article is about the place of business.'' ''For other uses, see [[Office (disambiguation)]].''

'''The office''' is [[Free Country, USA|Free Country]]'s token cubicle-filled commercial office building, though its arrangement and exterior have not been verified. Inside, [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Bubs]], [[Pom Pom]], [[The Cheat]], and [[Coach Z]] work generic and fairly ambiguous office jobs. Strong Bad works in a cubicle with a [[Corpy NT6|computer]], and puts [[Dullard|comic strips]] and [[Sticky Notes|Post-it notes]] on the walls, the latter of which were involved in a plan which he believed would save the company millions. The office has a wood-paneled boardroom equipped with a [[Whiteboard|dry-erase board]]. [[Shareholders]] meet there to discuss the earnings.

Their work seems to involve multi-tasking, or creating the illusion of multi-tasking when they report to their superiors in the assumed company.

Pom Pom is the "big cheese" of the company, and Homestar, being Pom Pom's friend, has admin privileges, although he still remains extremely obedient to Pom Pom.

Rondleman, [[Names ending in -erson|Gunderson]], and [[Mancuso]] are the names of three [[Unseen Characters|unseen co-workers]]. Homestar once identified Strong Bad as Rondleman, who works in Regional Shipping Management Resources. Gunderson and Mancuso work in Accounting. Mancuso put his own [[Hole punch|three-hole punch]] in the microwave on at least one occasion, which led Homestar to think he [[Sucks|sucks]]. Gunderson, according to Homestar, doesn't suck.

The office apparently has spaces occupied by [[Senor Cardgage]]'s mortgage company, [[Senor Cardgage Mortgage]]. It is featured in his company's TV promotion as where calls are transferred to and received by his many "handsome talking experts". None of these experts were shown in the [[Senor Mortgage|commercial]], however.

The office is also home to a [[Technical support|tech support]] calling center where Homestar works and where Strong Bad once called up to complain about his slow internet speeds. As a parody of many reports of inferior tech support, Homestar repeats prepared replies that are not related to Strong Bad's questions. Homestar also claims he is "not in [[India]]".

It also apparently has a [[Water Cooler|water cooler]], where Homestar Runner tries to make conversation. In the email [[4 branches]], he gets stuck inside the water cooler, and decides to stay for the rest of his life. However, he later escapes (although it is not shown how or when).

Fridays at the office are Business Casual Fridays, or as they say around the office, "Biz Cas Fri", since they have to "abbreve" everything. On this day, the employees all wear free polo shirts they have received from various software companies, such as "[[Minor Companies|Diskettes Etc.]]", "[[Minor Companies|Micro Palace]]", and "[[Minor Companies|Hot Jones Investment]]".

The Cheat's job is most likely a part of the aforementioned tech support, evidenced in [[Biz Cas Fri 2]]: when Strong Bad commented on Homestar's foul smell, he said he smelled like "wet Tech Support, with [[Onions|onions]]". The Cheat is known to smell bad when wet, and he tried to help with Strong Bad's computer issues in [[Biz Cas Fri 3]]. Bubs appears to be an [[Information systems technician|IT technician]], as his job involves installing [[Firewall (computing)|firewalls]], as seen in [[from work]]; in the DVD commentary for said email, [[Mike Chapman]] refers to Bubs as an IT geek. [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]] seemingly indicates (and [[DNA Evidence]] confirms) that Coach Z is a janitor.
