Talk:The Job (The Office)

message: I'm still a bit afraid to touch anything here, but it seems to me that the "references" is nothing more than an ad...it just doesn't seem appropriate.

:The NBC press release is the source for the episode title. -- Raymondc0 17:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Ad

message: i see no indication that karen's decision to go out for lunch with friends actually "surprised" jim in any significant way. 71.192.247.11 22:45, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. - Shaheenjim 00:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "surprises Jim even though he suggested it" 

message: I wonder if Jim was on pace to get the job, as when Wallace says that Jim will like everyone except the HR guy.  Basically, possibly not known if Jim was offered the job and then refused to accept it, or if Ryan outright beat him for it.
:It'll be revealed in the next episode if at all. please try to keep the Talk page to discussing the article itself. -- Viewdrix 01:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Jim's Interview" 

message: I think this bit should be deleted from the Trivia section: "David implies in his interview with Jim that the sales numbers he has asked of everyone are a formality.  His hiring of Ryan proves this since it was revealed in Beach Games that Ryan has still not made a sale despite several months in his full-time job." David is referring to a questionnaire that needed to be filled out as an HR formality and not necessarily that the bringing of sales numbers were. Anyone else agree? Checkguy 09:44, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know whether David was referring to the questionnaire or the sales numbers, but it doesn't really matter.  I rephrased that note so that it isn't an issue anymore. - Shaheenjim 20:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Ryan 'getting the job' trivia

message: It is never shown that Ryan is given the job that everyone else is applying for.  I think that it should be omitted that he was given "the" Job, but could still be stated that he was given "a" Job.  It very well might be the job, but it hasn't been proven yet.
*Frankly, I believe you're overthinking things a little bit.  While it's not explicitly stated he's getting Jan's old job, he is certainly getting a job at Corporate.  It wouldn't make any sense for him to be getting any other job.--67.34.244.200 02:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: BJ Novak confirmed on his blog that Ryan is now Michael's boss. This show isn't "Twin Peaks" or "X Files" which are known for teasing viewers with double meanings and secret messages. "The Office" is pretty straightforward in its storytelling. -- Raymondc0 02:18, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ryan Getting THE??? Job 

message: The producers and writers have not said what the title is supposed to mean, but even if they had it really doesn't belong in the synopsis.  How about putting the "boob job" theory in Trivia until it's confirmed?--67.34.244.200 02:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. "Explaining" the meaning of the title is analysis which certainly doesn't belong in the synopsis. I would accept putting it under Trivia. -- Raymondc0 02:15, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't say it's just a theory, because it's implied pretty clearly.  But moving it to the trivia section is fine with me. - Shaheenjim 03:03, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically, you could claim that the writers intended the title to refer to Jan's boob job, but they did not intend it to refer to the position at the corporate office.  Raymondc0 and I rephrased the note so it doesn't assume anything. - Shaheenjim 00:22, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The way it is now is fine. See "The Return": it's not noting that the title has a double meaning, it's just noting what could be chalked up to coincidence. -- Viewdrix 02:58, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The "meaning" of the title 

message: Jim's haircut in this episode looks identical to his haircut in that movie License to Wed.  Could it be possible that he was filming for that movie at the same time as this episode?
This was because he had been filming for the movie leather heads, as is well documented in the articles       for previous episodes.--D0nkeypie (talk) 18:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jim's haircut 

message: Why is Dwight's fantasy salary notable? It's just a retelling of a joke from the episode. If it's a notable plot detail, then put it in the synopsis. -- Raymondc0 23:53, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If we just retold the annual salary, that'd be retelling a joke from the episode.  But the episode doesn't mention the monthly salary, and that's what makes it notable. - Shaheenjim 04:30, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dwight's fantasy salary 

message: Why is Jan surprised to learn that she will be fired? She clearly knew that Michael was in New York for an interview, so she must have known which position was being interviewed for, and she should have figured out that it was her own job. 82.35.50.31 (talk) 23:59, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
