TV's "Celebrity Apprentice" is back for a new season--and as always, it provides a very interesting look at workplace dynamics. Strong personalities, unfamiliar tasks, high-stakes competition, a very demanding boss, and nearly impossible deadlines make for a lot of drama.
Of course, workplace drama doesn't happen only on screen--anyone who's had a job has faced all of the aforementioned elements at work, and that's part of what makes the show appealing to some people and unappealing to others (who get enough job-related craziness at their own jobs).
