Clockwatchers is a 1997 American comedy-drama film co-written and directed by Jill Sprecher. It stars Toni Collette, Parker Posey, Lisa Kudrow, and Alanna Ubach as temporary office staffers in an office complex. The four become misfit friends in an office environment where they are ignored and mistrusted by their co-workers.
==Plot== Iris is a timid young woman who takes a temporary job at Global Credit, a credit company. She soon befriends assertive and cynical fellow temp Margaret, who teaches Iris the many ways to deal with the crummy world of temping. She introduces Iris to two other temps: aspiring actress Paula eagerly awaits post-work happy hours and the chance to flirt with attractive men, and naive Jane is engaged to marry a man who makes up for his abusive behavior by buying her gifts. The four temps forge a camaraderie based on being outsiders at the company.
