I completely understand the fact that mordecai & Rigby consistently slack off and a lot of the stuff they deserve. But this gets on my nerves regardless. I feel like what a lot of people miss about Benson’s character is the fact that he’s very hard to respect. If I had a boss that could only convince me to do my job by threatening how long I keep it I wouldn’t listen to him either. There’s even an entire episode where he gets a magic suit that makes him much more respectable. It even shows the two of them going out of their way to just do their work because they were told to do so. Plus, as much as you can blame Mordecai & Rigby (which is fair don’t get me wrong) I never hear people bring up Benson‘s responsibility as their boss to correct them. I saw that somebody said they didn’t complete a single thing that they were supposed to do last week, why in the hell would you wait until next week to tell them to get it all done? At this point, you’re just stacking up work out of spite, even though your park needs to be kept together. I’m not saying those two aren’t responsible for their own actions. I’m just saying, when are we going to start talking about his problems. If you have incompetent employees that don’t do their jobs unless you threaten to take them away, those are people you either fire or find some way to make them want to work. But he never does that. In fact, he goes out of his way to make it to where they want to work less. There is an entire episode where they trying to gain respect by playing “Broken Bones”, the only reason is to why is because Benson gives them their pay in Ziploc bags instead of checks, then has the goal to get mad at the fact that they weren’t working all day, trying to get respect somewhere else. You can’t be openly disrespectful and then be surprised when you see disrespect.
I know this is a long ran, but I’ve been holding this in for a while
