Eh, not so much. The warehouse is the warehouse. It's a sub-function of the actual business of selling paper. A dept manager at Wal Mart still is in the business of overseeing people running the primary business of the store.

Agree to disagree. Darryl has to have lots of shite in line to run the warehouse (and its, what, 8 or so employees?) efficiently. It's not like he's just keeping the floors clean. But it doesn't matter..

I also thought it was very weak writing when Ryan got the promotion several seasons back.

Agreed. But it did lead to some nice storylines later down the road, culminating in the youtube video of him being arrested for fraud. I also thought it was bad writing to bring him back, even if just as a secretary/temp-type. No way a company hires someone who ripped them off and got them into tons of legal trouble. But then again, BJ Novak is a writer/co-producer of the show..
