Mild Scope Creep / Existential Risk
Real PMs of Orange County is a running gag between two seasoned project managers who decided the workplace drama in their daily standups deserved a wider audience. Every character is loosely based on someone they've worked with. Every disaster is real. Names changed to protect the guilty. Mostly. The Account Director is never in the cast — he just watches from the sidelines and sighs loudly in Slack.
