35 of the Most Michael Scott-Like Bosses People Have Ever Had
Truth that’s both stranger — and worse — than fiction
Millions of Americans tuned in across seven seasons of The Office to watch Steve Carell wreck havoc on his fictional subordinates as the most comically inept boss in TV history. These Redditors, however, didn’t need to watch Michael Scott’s unhinged mismanagement to understand what it would be like to work for someone like that.
Case in point: One of their bosses with a particular craving sent an employee out looking for pomegranates despite pomegranates being woefully out of season, while another shouted at the top of his lungs to prove a point — the point being that he doesn’t raise his voice.
Who knew just how real fiction could be?
