I always thought it was funny that Dunder Mifflin Scranton Branch looked like a bunch of bumbling idiots to corporate.
Dunder Mifflin corporate were portrayed as upscale educated individuals, yet they were the ones that tanked the company and Dunder Mifflin Scranton was the only successful thing about the whole company

Charles Minor ruined everything. My worst decision

Fire at least half the staff. There’s no reason why a paper selling branch with 4 or 5 salesmen needs 3 accountants. No one knows what Creed or Meredith did. Or Kelly. Does such a small office need a full time HR guy? Could the manager not also still be a salesman? A full time receptionist?

Changed the name like Michael tried to tell you in his interview for Jan’s job.

For real though, put much more of an investment into making the website the best website on the market, and advertising it. Basically following Ryan’s path minus the fraud part could have kept you more competitive.

Creed was supposed to do factory inspections of the product...we see where that got em

Yeah that’s supposedly what they did, but what exactly does that entail and does it require all those full time employees? Seems like Kelly could’ve doubled as receptionist at least.

The company always seemed too small to me, for having such a large corporate operation in manhattan, and being a publicly traded company. At its peak, they had, what, 5 branches?
Scranton
Stamford
Nashua
Buffalo
Utica
Scranton had 5 salespeople, if you count Michael. So a high estimate would be a 30 person sales force, company wide. With paper being so cheap, and them constantly having to offer discounts, and eat shipping costs to be competitive, I really don’t see how they ever lasted longer than the Michael Scott Paper Company.

That’s a good point. No reason that a company like that would need a swank NY corporate office or be on the stock exchange.

Had you only listened to Michael and come up with a 45 points in 45 days steps to turn the company around. Instead, you let that arse be mean to your most incompetent and successful branch manager.

The always classic, you don’t know so everyone must be like you.
What’s worse is that each of those had entire episodes devoted to their job.
