re: Something that always bothered me about The Office

Then it's basically implied that Jim who was just an early 30s slacker paper salesman turned the position down. Then they give the job to Ryan, an intern with an MBA from Scranton University. A very well respected institution I'm sure.

Right. Ryan was clearly unqualified for that position, and it's insane that he would even be interviewed for it, let alone get it.

And clearly they created the show to make you think Jim was the best candidate. He was acing the interview until he saw Pam's Office Olympics medal. And he and Wallace had gotten along swimmingly in the past, so Wallace liked him.

I'm surprised this got so many downvotes.
