The jobs of the white-collar employees of a Quebecois trucking company are dull, monotonous and banal - but it's a solid living. That is until management deems the personnel department to be outdated and inefficient and hire a new manager to correct the problem. Marguerite, one of the employees in the personnel department, is promoted to be the new Manager's secretary based solely on his sexual attraction to her. Marguerite is initially receptive to his flirting and compliant with his demands to spy on her former colleagues. She reaches her limit when his flirtation becomes aggressive and also when he decides to fire an employee with 45 years of loyal service to the company. The employees resent and rebel against this action, and Marguerite, being a former labor activist, becomes their unofficial leader. Discussions about establishing a union to deal with their grievances take place and a new group spirit emerges despite the resistance of some employees. However, with management pushing forward on their plan, the employees may be too late to save their jobs...
