Mad Men

One of my favorite scenes. It's all so relatable, especially if you've worked in a creative field.

The clashing of strong personalities.
The desire for recognition when you're still low(er) on the totem.
Subordinating your personal life because you can't let the work go.
Fighting and screaming at each other.
Hurt feelings.

All of it, really

One of the best quotes in the show in a long list of great quotes.

I think this scene is relatable to people in many different careers -- long hours, giving up personal time, desiring recognition when others won't give it, those with seniority taking credit, and a family that doesn’t understand. Creative careers are worse because creative ideas are often more personal.
 
This is one reason the show is rewatchable. Someone on Reddit posted this.

Major S5 (E12) Spoilers. If you haven’t seen Season 5, skip this.
Lane holding his neck. Mets pennant pointing at the coat and hat that resembles a hanged man. Met means “death” (or dead, dead man) in Hebrew. Composition boxes Lane in.
