In season 3 of the sitcom, The Office, the well-meaning but buffoonish boss, Michael Scott, is interviewing for a promotion at the corporate offices of his employer. Looking the part, but ever the unwitting clown, the interview unfolds as follows:
Interviewer: “So, let me ask you a question right off the bat. What do you think are your greatest strengths as a manager?”
Michael: “Why don’t I tell you what my greatest weaknesses are? I work too hard. I care too much. And sometimes I can be too invested in my job.”
Interviewer: “Okay. And your strengths?”
Michael: “Well, my weaknesses are actually… strengths”
