'The CE Office' (2024) Step into the hilariously chaotic world of Corporate Edge, where leadership excellence meets coffee spills, dance-offs, and endless laughs. This workplace comedy follows a passionate team as they balance day-to-day work with village check-ins, impromptu karaoke sessions, and the occasional oat latte disaster. Through stretches, celebrations, and plenty of awkwardly funny moments, 'The CE Office' is a heartwarming tribute to teamwork, resilience, and the magic of building a truly connected workplace. Think The Office meets Ted Lasso - but with more leadership lingo and no sports.
