'He deleted the entire company's website by accident': 20+ Foolish managers whose employees roll their eyes at their antics

If you think your boss is goofy, just wait until you hear about how other people's bosses act. A lot of managers act just like Michael Scott, the boss from the timeless TV series, "The Office." In the show, Michael Scott is constantly putting his foot in his mouth. He's one of those bosses who is so concerned with looking like he's leading that he barely pays attention to his employees' actual issues.

These workers answered a question to r/AskReddit posed by u/timeforknowledge: "What is the most Michael Scott thing your boss has ever done?" Some people have bosses who are just a little bit ditzy, like the guy who gathered employees in the kitchen to show them the way to make a gourmet coffee (spoiler alert: it was just regular coffee prep that the boss thought was special). Other people had bosses with big personalities who need to show off, brag, or talk about their personal lives constantly. One person shared that their boss had a pressing matter for them: she wanted them to participate in a random flash mob.

As long as people like working for their "Office" bosses, that's what matters. And for those who don't, at least they'll have some memorable stories to share around the water cooler.

Next up, this startup hired a new employee, but there were red flags from the start.
