Michael’s departure from The Office marked the end of an era. He entertained us for seven seasons, so when he finally said his goodbyes, it felt like a punch in the gut. At his last Dundies, his colleagues even sang "9,986,000 Minutes," as a tribute to the exact time Michael spent at Dunder Mifflin. What made Michael's farewell even more special was how quietly he left. No grand gestures, no dramatic goodbyes, just individual moments with each coworker, never revealing it was his last day. It was ironic for someone who loved big moments to dread his own departure.
