Quit.

The Office is a goofy workplace comedy when viewed through the lens of an audience member, but Michael Scott is an objectively terrible boss and a shitty person.

He's constantly making comments that are racist, sexist, or otherwise ignorant and unacceptable in the workplace.

He can't keep any information confidential, as seen when he outs Oscar for being gay.

He refuses to let anyone be "above him" such as when he ruins Phyllis' wedding because her father made a great toast, or when he gets kicked out of the boat party for refusing to let the captain do his job.

"Oh but he cares so much about his employees! ๐Ÿฅบ" No he doesn't. That's why he insists on making his employees tend to his slightly burnt foot instead of dealing with Dwight's concussion. Oh, and let's not forget the time he sabotaged Jim's promotion by straight up slandering him to David Wallace.

I would rather be unemployed than working for such an insufferable man child like Michael Scott. The Office might be fun to watch, but it would be hell to live through it every weekday from 8-5.

I mean, you might instead aim to befriend Toby and get a massive legal payout
