Michael thrived as the boss, so when Dunder Mifflin’s new VP, Charles Miner, kept him under constant supervision, he did the only logical thing: he quit and started his own damn paper company (Michael Scott Paper Company). With no money, no office, and no real plan, he relied solely on confidence and an unshakable belief in his genius. Recruiting Pam and Ryan, who were just as lost, he set up operations in a tiny, bleak office. The best part is that it actually worked out. They started poaching Dunder Mifflin’s clients, forcing David Wallace to buy them out. And just like that, Michael secured his old job back, with a raise.
