Michael Scott is a likeable character? Good at his job?
Isn't he famously unlikeable and bad at his job?
I didn't watch more than a couple of seasons of the US office, did they really give him that strong of a "redemption arc" that he's seen as likeable and an effective employee?

- bityard 4y agoTowards the end of the series, his redeeming quality was that he actually did try to care about his employees a little bit. He usually tried to "do the right thing" but failed in terms of execution. But yeah, he was still pretty incompetent the whole way through the series. That was the whole reason for the character to exist, so I don't know where the "good at his job" came from.
- whatshisface 4y agoMichael Scott comes out with a pretty good score if you rate him on the duties of a manager alone. He kept all his employees aligned with what the company wanted them to do despite the fact that their behavioral tendencies were invented by sitcom writers, made them all feel like performance would be rewarded even in an environment where promotions never happened,
