If your boss acted like Michael Scott (from The Office), would you be able to continue working for him/her?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Heck yeah!

Michael Scott is about a thousand times better than some of the condescending jerks I've worked for who thinks the sun shines out of their crack.

Think of all of Michael's great boss qualities:

> He sees the value of keeping morale high in the office with parties, celebrations, and camaraderie (I've worked in places that mandated silence, noting that socializing with coworkers is counterproductive!).

> He has a sense of humor.

> He doesn't talk down to women...any more than he does anyone else.

> He goes to employee special events - like weddings, art gallery debuts, etc. My bosses wouldn't even acknowledge I existed.

> He sticks up for his employees against the corporate zombies.

> He wants everyone to be happy (The Dundees, Benny Hanna sp.?)

> He's a success! His work and success makes his branch successful so those people can keep their jobs.

Yeah, I really wish that if I did ever have a boss again, that he/she would be just like Michael Scott. I could definitely deal with some insensitivity, stunts, and bad jokes for all of those amazing and RARE attributes above!

Of course. don't you think it would be hilarious? You'd have to learn not to take your job seriously and be ready to pack up and leave at any moment, but imagine the dinner conversation: "honey, you'll never believe what went on at work today"

Of course, if you were smart about it, you could probably film or tape some antics that might land you a large harassment settlement.

I actually think I would sit there and laugh most of the day at how utterly STUPID (and funny) everyone acts in that office

But honestly, who couldn't get a hostile workplace settelment with clips like this:

My boss ALREADY acts like Michael Scott. I think he must think he's a role model! And yet, I continue working there. I need the experience, and in the position I'm in (insert Michael Scott saying "that's what she said!" here) I don't have much direct interaction with him.

Pretty much every day at my job could be an episode of The Office, actually. I guess I'd be the stodgy comic relief.
