This study analyzes how effective communication can be carried out in the workplace to ensure that implied meanings are well understood and misunderstandings are minimized. This aim of this study is to identify the types of non-observance maxims, how the non-observance of maxims occurs, and the types of conversational implicature in the dialogues of the main characters in the Upgraded movie which is set in a workplace context. The analysis of conversational implicature is based on Grice’s theory, while the classification of maxim non- observance refers to Thomas’s theory. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method to provide a detailed analysis of the data. The data were collected by watching and transcribing utterances that potentially contain conversational implicatures.
