It’s a show about a corporate IT department, and there are like 5 long term characters. Not unreasonable there is one woman. A lot of if not more of the jokes are with the CEO too. She gets a lot of jokes at her expense because she is a main character in a comedy show.
It doesn’t play into that at all, she is clueless because she lied to get the job, not because she is a woman, the other 2 are just as clueless about other stuff, and her interpersonal skills and cunning is what gets them through a lot of their challenges. The whole premise of the show is they’re clueless nerds and she is clueless at her job she lied to get. They cover each other’s weaknesses.
You need to ask yourself questions like “why is that character a woman?” “how does the show treat women generally?” etc
Like obviously they made choices, and those choices are because of and reenforcing misogynistic steriotypes.
misogyny isn’t characters screaming about hating women, it’s portraying women as bad at tech, sex objects, making a joke entirely about beating up a woman as the end of an episode, portraying women as liars etc.

Portraying misogyny doesn’t make the show misogynist. They are all bad people, that’s the underlying comedic premise of the show.
