| Topic | The Office is quite infuriating to watch. |
| saspa 08/12/21 5:56:51 AM #99: | You know it's kinda weird. When I first watched those episodes I was still in college. But watching them now... see I too worked at a company in the sales section years ago, and I also never made a sale. Then in a bizarre twist of fate as I was being transferred to corporate branch to work in HR, I got a call from a client who was asking about prices and wanted to sign with me, to make a sale. It was so weird, it was literally on the last day as I was transferring from sales to HR. The show's constant jokes at Ryan never making a sale kind of got me thinking about that. And while Michael is an idiot, I do agree with him when he tells the college class that Ryan has never made a sale in his life, so what does he know about business. The thing with business theories in those classes is that they're just that, theories. Stuff written down after they saw an example of that happening in the world. Success in a business class doesn't translate to real world success. A lot of businessmen in the world have never taken anything even resembling a class and they are successful merchants and sellers and the formula for success isn't always tried and true. Just some rambling I was thinking while watching the show. Before it was just "haha Ryan wanted to embarrass Michael and got owned instead" but now it's actually "I've lived this somewhat, this almost applies to me" --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
