So what do you suppose Stanley's company does?

[ReverendTed]

...aside from executing pandas.

Hahaha *high fives - the painting near the bosses office!
Well so far we know that they sharpen pencils, order boxes & play solitare on company computers so its like any office job really.
Needs more Dwight Schrute though :D

I agree. What if the boss is Michale Scott? Maybe he got promoted from Dunder Mifflin?

[MarkiPoli]

The Office only exists for them to be mind controlled you don't say?

[DOBRONX]

Executing pandas.

[Pink Jodi]

Well the bosses office is pretty fancy like. He is well off.

Probabley sell numerous infomercial products!!! ^ . ^

The only job I can imagine where pressing buttons someone tells you to press is *REALLY* important is investment banking, or some similar financial job. Would also nicely agree with the panda execution on the side, and the ego of the boss.

The implications for Gran PC being employee of the year make me very sad though.

I also do not understand why an office like that would need a cargolift.

Edit: or maybe something like mechanical logistics, but at a distance. That would work, but they don't get any feedback. Why the hell would you do that in an office away from the machinery you're controlling?

Possible solution to this dilemma: people create robots who can do this job better than men can. Because humans are stupid they feel safer if a human would be at the controls, and so the human race has created humans that are mindcontrolled to ensure that there is a) a human controlling these machines, and b) an error/accident rate as close to machine-controlled-machines as possible. In that case they could also be train conductors in that office, or something like that :P.

So let's put together what we know about The Stanley Parable Galactic Concerns Ltd (that part's made up, in case you were confused).
- Most importantly, anything we know about Stanley or where he works is questionably reliable, making this a purely academic exercise
- They have 604 employees in their database
- These employees are monitored continuously and under constant mind control
- The employees are organized by floor (4XX, 5XX), and then further into Kabals Groups of 10
- The bulk of what these employees do is "office work" at computers, in some cases mindlessly following instructions, although offices also contain paperwork, filing cabinets, (suicidal) copy machines, and penicl sharpeners
- There is a shipping\receiving area with a not-insignificant number of boxes, and white unmarked cargo vans. (Outgoing deliveries, incoming supplies? One or both?)
- There are signs of typical office bureaucracy: a boss, meetings, memos, as well as an employee breakroom
- A whiteboard in the breakroom specifies "Graphs about things and money" as their new product (So that solves it, right? They're a business management consulting firm.)
- Pictures in the boss' office imply a lavish lifestyle and significant profitability, as well as disregard for the environment (see "Sewage Lillies by Claude Money" and "Carte Blanche et Mont Blanc") and ethical norms (writing in the Executive Bathroom. And also executing pandas as not a business strategy, but a "Business Stratergy"

What else do we know?

I should also mention that...
This is a very clever joke - it's so clever you probably won't understand it.

[Rosden Shadow]

It could sell products there is a whole room of boxes and vans. maybe even illegal ones because the employees don't know what they are doing and they don't tell the employees what they are doing.

Pandafur :P

i think that stanly makes passwords for accounts (ya know like the whole "that password is taken try this password!") because he gets told a code and he needs to type it in to see if it works
