20 Work Situations ‘The Office’ Got Perfectly

The beloved sitcom, The Office, was a hit not only because of the very funny Michael Scott (Steve Carell), but because the show had so much truth to it. Its characters weren’t doing anything very exciting. They simply sold paper. But they mirrored the things everyone has to deal with in a workspace and made them funny. 
 

1. Your desire to leave mandatory “parties” early.

2. Taking an unscheduled break in order to get away from doing something.

3. Watching the clock in order to leave.
