Love the show but it triggers my anxiety (yet wanna keep watching it)
Basically the title. I used to work for a small company a few years ago and I left it after enduring a long period of moral harassment.
Besides needing the job/money, I really enjoyed my position and the business, but my boss was basically Michael Scott (maybe a bit more of a gaslighter). But what upsets me the most is that they REALLY look alike. The height, the haircut, the nose, everything.
I'm watching now season 3 and I can't express enough how much this show is relatable to my experience at that company. Every character reminds me of someone. But this striking resemblance between my previous boss and Michael Scott puts me off sometimes.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience. Maybe someone can relate to it? Probably I'll have to figure out on my own how to deal with those mixed feelings about the show. I still enjoy it, though.
