'[He] would gather admin staff... and show them funny YouTube clips': 30+ People whose silly bosses have the whole office facepalming

Not every boss is serious and hard-working—some are so goofy, they barely get any work done at all. Much like the lovably cringe Michael Scott, the boss from "The Office," these people had bosses who seemed to want to do anything other than work. Instead of leading a team, they'd rather try to be everyone's BFF. They want to be known as the "cool boss," but in reality, their employees are probably mocking them behind their backs for trying too hard to be liked. It's one thing to try and establish a professional relationship with your colleagues, but it's a whole different story when the boss keeps to organize staff happy hours or team building exercises to try and get the team to become actual friends (not work friends).

These people shared the "most Michael Scott thing your boss has ever done." There are some great stories included below, from bosses who wanted to organize fun runs, to others who are insistent on being hip with the latest slang. At least these workplaces are entertaining places to be at, even if very little actual work is getting done. Up next, these bakers gave one star to some recipes because of their own substitutions, like the person who decided to make carrot cake without carrots, and instead adding kale.
