I think a mixture of the two would work well. I think a sequel, while a good idea, would probably not be as successful. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to see a remake one of these days. So even with the fact that this movie is almost 40 years old, it's as relevant as ever and will remain relevant as long as women keep getting treated unfairly for X or Y reason.
At the very least this film is about women being treated equally in the workplace, receiving the same pay as the men do for the same work. The Other Woman, in spite of pretending it's all about female empowerment, was probably as sexist as they got to be honest.
Of course there's narrative differences, the women in the Other Woman are trying to get revenge on this guy who's sleeping with all of them behind the other's backs, whereas this film sees the women get revenge on their boss for being a sexist and ignorant idiot. With The Other Woman coming out last year, and being a pretty bad movie at that, I can sense that this movie was a very obvious inspiration on that.
