Current Events > The Office when Jim turns down a job

(+) Yeah! (+)

Who turns down a VP position, a higher paying job that makes no sense

Him and Karen drove up to NY together. Then he just left her there so he could ask Pam on a date.

cause Jim is an idiot.

he would rather stay in Scranton flirting with Pam and pranking Dwight. smh

Imagine having a penis so inverted that you would pick Pam over Rashida Jones.

Cause Pam was worth everything

He also quit the company he started that would have made him a millionaire because his wife didn't want to move out of a shitty ass town.

It wasn't likely he was getting the job anyways.

Yeah I distinctly recall him saying he didn't do well on the interview

I'm starting to think I misunderstand the nature of a b plot

Loathe as I am to defend Pam, in fairness Jim kind of just decided without consulting her.

Pam is a bitch tho.

cant believe im saying this but i think i prefer Angela. lol

I care more about who Im around rather than how much money I make. So, even if he would of gotten it, it stillakes sense to me to stay around people I already like.

Then again, I don't really know the feeling of putting in a shitload of work to not be sufficiently paid for it. That would probably change me some

Id put a connection with a girl over a high paying job as well. If the history was long enough. Not for someone I recently met.

David was talking to him in the interview like the job was his. "(The guy in HR) is probably gonna be the only person you're not going to like..."

Maybe, but it is crazy to think they would hire an average salesman with no advanced education to be the vice president over someone with an MBA.

As if companies don't make dumber hires irl every day lol

Its not always about the money. I turned down a higher paying position because I knew that in the grand scheme of things Id be less happy in that role.

He was buddy buddy with David Wallace in previous episodes. Its about who you know not what you know sometimes.

That's what Im saying. These dudes sound like they've been convinced doing anything besides getting the most amount of money makes you a cuck lol. Life is much deeper than going where it pays the most if you're able to break out of that very linear thinking pattern

Well, the leadership of the company making awful decisions is a pretty common theme throughout those seasons

Just the opposite, you have to have sales experience to move up in the world. Simple theories and academic knowledge means little in the real world without the know-how, charm and experience that comes from knowing your consumers, their needs and wants, rather than just reading about some other guy's theories in a textbook.

Its hard to believe, but not everyone bases their life around work.

Jim does some silly shit, but Pam >>>> Karen

The funny thing is that turning down the job ended up better for him in the long run because Dunder Mifflin's leadership was a complete shitshow.

Its ironic because pam later goes to study in new york so they could have been together AND be successful

You know it's an interesting point. Regardless of how difficult and how excessive the workload is, most people put up with it all. But if the environment around them is what sucks, like who they work with and the people around them, that is usually the dealbreaker.

Seen it several times and experienced it. Even with minimal workload if you're miserable around the people at your job you'd prefer the higher workload with people you work well with. Eg if you're in a place where all your coworkers smoke in the office, you'd feel suffocated and just not comfortable in that environment.
