I've only seen clips of this show but I don't know why people dislike the boss since he seems like he means well and is a caring guy. Meanwhile the frizzy haired looks-in-camera man is a loving twat and I'd kick his rear end.

the character comes apparently out of ricky gervais' own personal experience of a boss who was incompetent and pathetic but wanted to be the cool guy at work and everyone's friend

why not be his friend? he probably doesn't like being incompetent. but he's got to bread win like everyone else. it's not like the job actually matters much i assume.

the british office at least (i haven't seen american office) does actually strike this sort of half-ambivalent tone!
