22 Tips Learned from nine years of The Office
After nine seasons, over 200 episodes, dozens of jokes epic, a water cooler-buzz-jam romance, a seismic shift in management, and a host of "that's what she said" jokes, The Office is the punching your time card NBC last Thursday night.
Many fans are positively verklempt about the end of this gem of a sitcom. Others are discouraged that has gone too far to appease the blinding show both hilarious. But everyone should take heart. The Office leaves a legacy prodigious comedy pioneer, a performance indelible Steve Carell as Michael Scott, the popularization of the mockumentary genre, now inevitable, and a new generation of comedy stars John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson, and Mindy Kaling.
Another advantage: The office gave us a lot of advice - useful or not. So we mourn the end of this comedy work, remember some of the best and most hilarious series employment advice - straight from the mouth of Dunder-Mifflin's finest. Here, tips for living offices, from the characters of sage office:
Never trust your Human Resources representative.
Michael: Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for businesses. So it's not really a part of our family. Also have been divorced so not really a part of your family.
Do not waste too much time on research.
Michael: Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information.
Knowing when it's time to take a break.
Kevin: I deserve a vacation. Sometimes I have to remove the garment Batman.
Never trust the technology.
Michael: Everyone always wants new things. Everybody likes new inventions, new technology. People will never be replaced by machines. In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to kill you in a lake. And for me, the choice is easy.
Stand your ground against rivals ambitious work.
Gabe: Hey Andy, how about you do not steal my business strategies, and I will not dress like life is just one long brunch.
That "What weaknesses?" question of the job interview is a trick. Do not fall into the trap.
Michael: You know what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh, I dunno, I sing in the shower? Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me - no, I sue. This is opposite the point I'm trying to do.
No fraternizing with grunt workers.
Michael: There is always a distance between a boss and employee, is only the rule of nature. Bullying is mostly. It is the awareness that they are not me.
But make sure you still like.
Michael: I want to be feared or loved? Um ... easy, either. I want people to be afraid of how much he loves me.
And be sure to have a social life outside the office.
Michael: I'm friends with everybody in this office. We're best friends. I love everyone here. But sometimes your best friends start coming to work late and start having dentist appointments that are not dentist appointments, and that is when it's good that they know you could beat them up.
Knowing how the system works.
Phyllis: Yes, I put Michael in my wedding, it was the only way I could think of to get six weeks off for my honeymoon. No one else has managed six weeks earlier.
Use what you have.
Phyllis: I wonder what people like about me. Probably my jugs.
Fight for the things that are important to you.
Creed: The only difference between me and a homeless man is this job. I'll do anything to survive. Like me, when I was a homeless man.
Knowing the value of loyalty to the company ... to a point.
Dwight: Did I ever leave this company? Look, I'm all about loyalty. In fact, I feel like part of what I paid for here is my loyalty. But if there were somewhere else that valued loyalty more high ... I'm going wherever they value loyalty the most.
Always take your time to teach new things coworkers.
Kelly: Look, I know why you became accountants is because you are not good at interacting with people. But guess what? From now on, you are no longer losers! So give yourself a round of applause.
Oscar: I wonder how many phone calls you're missing while you are teaching us to respond to calls.
Kelly: I know, right? Probably a lot.
Crisis management is difficult.
Michael: Here's the thing. When the screws of the company, the best thing to do is call a press conference. Alert the media, and then controls history. Wait for them to know, and the story that you control. That's what happened to OJ
Nurture your employees.
Michael: I think the main difference between me and Donald Trump is giving me no pleasure to say the words "You're fired". "You're fired". Oh, "you're fired". He just makes people sad. And an office can not function that way. No way. "You're fired". I think if I had a slogan it would be "You're hired, and you can work here as long as you want." But that is unrealistic, so ...
Do not settle.
Jim: Now this is just a job. If I advance above in this company, this would be my career. And, uh, if this were my career, I'd have to throw myself in front of a train.
Follow the example of American heroes.
Michael: Abraham Lincoln once said that "If you are a racist, I will attack you with the North", and those are the principles I carry with me in the workplace.
Do not take your job too seriously.
Jim: My job is to talk with customers, um, on the phone about, uh, quantities and, uh, kind of copy paper. You know, uh, if we can provide to them as they can, uh, pay for it. And, um ... I'm bored I just talk about it.
Be proud of your work.
Ryan: When people see this presentation, are ac ** in his pants.
Know how to motivate.
Robert: There's something about an underdog that really inspires the rule.
Get the most out of everything.
Stanley: Life is short. Drive fast. Leave a sexy body. That's one of my mottos.
