Office plant - ailing?
 

This plant gets sun, air, water and food, so why does it look so
crummy? Does it need to be cut back, or?

Also anybody know its name?

That seems likely to me. I can imagine poking my finger in the soil and
finding a marsh.

Plants are also not uniform in how MUCH sun, air, water, and food they
require to remain healthy.

Nah. I always check underneath for pot-bound-ness. Drainage is
fine. Nothing seems out of order, so why is it so, so...weedy?

BTW: Does anybody know the name of the plant?

No can do.

It looks woody. A bush or tree?

Perhaps with better pictures?
Closeups on the leaf arrangement.
A closeup of a leaf.
Does it ever flower?

Or, possibly Columnea. But whatever it is, if you're fertilizing it, you
should stop now. This is much what my Nematanthus looked like after planting
it in a mix with too much tri-phos.
