The Office is an American comedy television series broadcast by NBC. An adaptation of the BBC series of the same name, it depicts the everyday lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.

Michael Scott, regional manager of the Scranton branch of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, feels he is everyone’s best friend in the office; his employees feel otherwise. – Wikipedia

The Michael Scott character of “The Office.” has made us laugh, cry, and groan – his antics, while amusing, lead his employees to be Disengaged in their jobs.

Part of what makes “The Office” so popular is that viewers can often relate to the workplace issues the characters face in the show. While Michael’s actions can seem funny on television, if the same events transpired in real life they would have a detrimental effect on the working environment.
