I get that the gag was that it was "just a typical office", but the faulty wiring / power outage, lack of security (allowing the two survivors to easily breach the facility AND release all the monsters), and the way the security team was seemingly armed for a human assault and not a supernatural one (the majority of the monsters were bulletproof) ... took me out of the film slightly.
shareI love this movie, but probably one of the only things to give me pause was when "Shaggy" (he looks like the stoner from Scooby Doo to me) falls into the "grave" and the head operator guys don't question that he might be alive. They just assume. Didn't they have a thorough operating plan? Cameras on the gravesite, maybe? I mean, it's the exit point for the monsters afterall; the operators should have cameras on that site to ensure the dangerous monsters were released successfully. So, they should've had some visual confirmation that Shaggy was dead.
Oh, and in regards to the faulty wiring - that was Shaggy's doing. And the guards were expecting humans not monsters. I bet they had contingency plans if a monster or two escaped... but they didn't expect ALL of them to suddenly get released by Shaggy, who's some sort of magical mechanical stoner genius.
I wonder if Shaggy is kind of like the Mary Sue character.
They also mentioned that they've never been the ones to complete the ritual, it was always Japan.
I'm assuming they've become complacent in their jobs, and just going through the motions.
The highlight to them is the 'office pool'.
After the Redneck Zombies were chosen, everybody just moseyed back to their cubicles to play Angry Birds, confident that Japan will do their thing.

I'm just saying, if you had a job...
-that was unnecessary
-that someone else did for you
-that nothing you do matters
After decades of doing it, how well would you be prepared when it finally matters?
