New Boss
Michael:[on speakerphone] David, it was my understanding that I was not going to be managed.
David Wallace:What gave you that idea?
Michael:It was my understanding.
David Wallace:I see.
Michael:Listen, why don't we just leave that position vacant? Truth be told, I think I thrive under a lack of accountability.
David Wallace:Look, Michael, Charles is very qualified. Get to know him. I really think the two of you are going to make a great team.
Michael:But the branch is still mine?
David Wallace:You're still the branch manager, yes, and if you need anything else at all, just let Charles know.
Dwight:Ask him about the party.
Michael:Oh, right. David, are you coming to my fifteenth anniversary party?
David Wallace:I'll give it my best shot, Michael.
Dwight:No the other thing.
Michael:Oh, ok. If we hire Cirque de Soleil as salaried employees, will that help us with year-end tax stuff? [several seconds of silence]
Dwight:He hung up?
David Wallace:No.
