Another great Michael moment
(credit to dont-eat-tidepods for the image!)
Jo: "I cannot wait to can this guy."
Michael: "Wait wait wait. Okay. If you fire Andy, I quit.
No, no, no, no. Stop. Here’s how’s it has to go down. I’m the boss…. I am the boss, and I set the tone. I do. I’m the one who has to decide what is important and who is important and I think Andy is important…
And you need to stop blaming everybody else for the fact that you went out and bought some cheap Chinese crap and you need to renegotiate some good Chinese crap…
You need to fire the exploding printers."
(I cut out some lines, just to highlight what I think was great.)
Michael had SERIOUS and uncool faults, lots of them - but the moments when he puts everything on the line for his employees always remind me why we love him. If only we were all so lucky, to have a boss who would do anything to keep us employed!
