[@diy1367]

it's basically american office culture though, you work good, get promoted until you reach a position that you aren't good at and stay there barely grasping any straws. Michael was a good salesman, he was a shark he knew his target and he knew when to bite. But as a branch manager, salesmanship is useless. People would laugh hearing this but customer supports are the best candidates for a leading position.

[@RLplusabunchofdumbnumbers]

As an employee (i.e., let's ignore his personality) is a perfect example of the Peter Principle. He's a great salesman - we see it over and over again. He's at his absolute best selling to clients and that's never in question during the series. So, because he's such a good salesman, his corporate superiors promoted him out of the job he was genuinely good at into a job that he's genuinely bad at - where he then stalls so hard that he's outright told he's not a serious candidate for any further promotion. Over the course of the series, they shift his character to be more personally beneficial to his employees in his role as manager (the show doesn't go as long as it did with 'early season' Michael, especially S1 Michael), but he's never actually any good at running the branch.

[@Jessie-w5f]

💯

[@XanderXel91]

Great analysis. He cares way too much about being liked to be actually good at managing the branch, but he is so good at sales and keeping the branch profitable that they keep him in charge anyway.

​@@SupremeLouiNah, forcing Ryan to be rehired diminished Michael's brilliance in the negotiation a little: until that part, his demands were excessive but reasonable, Ryan committed a crime and almost screwed the company... it's the only part where Wallace gets legitimately mad, he was kind of flabbergasted with Michael until then.

This is why the show could work. If Michael Scott was terrible at everything, including sales, him being the manager for so long wouldn't work. He was an excellent salesman who got promoted to a position he wasn't suited for and didn't want, but at his core he could sell like no one else. So to show that from time to time quiets the questions of how he became a manager.

Really impressive guy.

Don't get me wrong, I do prefer the UK version more, but the main thing that the US version does better than the UK is that it actually shows why Michael is in his position, whereas there is never a situation in the UK version where David Brent has even a modicum of aptitude for his role.

[@AprehamLincoln]

It amazes me that people at Dunder Mifflin so often underestimate the guy whose entire career and reputation is owed exclusively to his outstanding record as a salesman. Like why are they surprised when they see him crush it in a sales role? Jan of all people should have been fully aware that Michael knew exactly what he was doing.
