Michael Scott Quote #1613

Quote from Michael Scott in The Promotion

David: [on speaker phone] Hey, guys. Um, I'm calling, because, unfortunately, we will not be able to give out cost of living raises this year, and I know people expect it. However, there just is only a small amount of money for each branch, so we're leaving it up to the managers to decide how to distribute it.
Michael Scott: Got it, Dave. Sounds like your classic big-picture decision.
Jim: Which will clearly affect the day-to-day well-being of our employees.
David: It's probably a little of both.
Michael Scott: Which is it more of?
David: Excuse me?
Jim: David, I know that I'm very new at this, but I have a very good perspective on how things work.
David: Wait, I'm sorry. Michael, are you- Are you texting me?
Michael Scott: I thought maybe we could talk after this is over.

Quote from Dwight K. Schrute

Dwight K. Schrute: People are starting to notice how terrible Jim is. It's great. Eventually, they'll rise up and revolt. My only hope is that they do it sooner rather than later. If the people here were our founding fathers, the Revolutionary War would have been delayed ten years. Because Stanley Washington was napping. And Phyllis Hancock was still signing the declaration. And Kevin Jefferson was distracted by a butterfly.

Quote from Jim

Jim: I've been studying Michael for years, and I've condensed what I've learned into this chart. How Michael spends his time. As you can see, we have procrastinating and distracting others, and this tiny sliver here is critical thinking. I made it bigger, so that you could see it.

Quote from Oscar

Oscar: Look, it doesn't take a genius to know that any organization thrives when it has two leaders. Go ahead, name a country that doesn't have two presidents. A boat that sets sail without two captains. Where would Catholicism be without the popes?
