Boss verse worker doesn’t really fit they’re dynamic and nor does a age gap in my opinion, they feel to me much more like coworkers gossiping about their old boss
fr that is the dynamic to me, they would so gossip as well they're notoriously haters together
fr like give me coworker!byler where they both work for boss!hopper.
give me boss!hopper who also happens to be will’s stepdad.
give me assistant!jane who wishes her dad boss!hopper would trust her to do more for the company than just fetching coffee and copying papers.
give me coworker!mike who finds out that will is his boss’ stepson and freaks out bc he knows boss!hopper hates him.
give me coworker!mike who’s determined to get his man and so enlists assistant!jane to help him win boss!hopper over.
give me boss!hopper who HATES mike even more when he learns that mike’s in love with one of his kids bc he thinks mike is trying to get with jane.
give me coworker!will who realises his office crush is *more* than just a crush when sees mike talking with jane in hushed whispers and stifled giggles around the office and feels his first pangs of jealousy & guilt.
give me IT support!dustin and HR!steve who overhear everything because they’re always in the background fixing something when drama goes down.
give me IT support!dustin & HR!steve scheming, pulling strings behind the scenes to force coworker!byler into increasingly intimate situations in an attempt to get them to realise that their feelings are mutual.
give me assistant!jane who catches IT support!dustin in the act and, instead of dobbing him in, joins forces with him & steve.
give me assistant!jane who feels empowered when her schemes pay off and she’s a big part of the reason that her brother can finally be with the person he loves.
give me assistant!jane who finally confronts boss!hopper about his overprotective-ness and infantilisation of her.
give me boss!hopper realising the error of his ways and begging his daughter for forgiveness.
give me assistant!jane who forgives him, but quits anyway to cofound her own start-up (with her best friend girlboss entrepreneur!max?) to compete with her dad’s company
