FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AS SEEN ON TV: When you crack a joke at work, does a laugh track chime in? Do you end each day in a dramatic boardroom meeting, dreading the words "You're fired"?
Work environments on popular television shows may be made up, but many real-life employees can relate, according to a new poll. An overwhelming 53 percent of respondents said the "boring and mismanaged" workplace depicted in "The Office" was most like their own, the nonscientific online poll by employee Web site Monster.com found.
The fast-paced environment on hospital drama "ER" garnered 23 percent of the vote, followed by Donald Trump's reality show "The Apprentice," which 13 percent of respondents said was cutthroat and competitive like their own workplaces.
The personal theatrics and romance on medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" won 11 percent of the votes.
The poll results were based on more than 4,800 votes cast on the Monster.com home page.
So which TV show is your workplace most like?
