He laughed at Michael's jokes when they first met and in the Deposition he insisted that Michael is a great guy, only bad thing he said was that he didn't want Michael in corporate (can you blame him).

This one he had to tell because Michael was applying for Jan's position so it's 100% relevant because he needs to know now in case he withdraws later on. As for Buffalo branch, I'm sure Michael figured another trick to get ahold of Wallace and make him spill the beans

attributes i wish i had from each office character 1. Erins Kindness 2. David Wallace’s Patience 3. Jim’s normality 4. Michael’s humor 5. Dwights mental toughness 6. Kelly’s social skills
imagine having a chatioc employee who is dating an even more chaotic employee and you tell him your secret and then in the next minute the chaotic partner asks 'is it because of these'
Wallace was inclined to informed Michael because he was applying for the position of his girlfriend. Conflict of interest but David didn't know they were dating again
I like how David knows how to balance out his patience with Michael versus Jan because he knows Michael's shenanigans are all driven by a heart of gold and unparalleled salesman skills while Jan is a _lunatic._
Out of all supporting cast in sitcoms, Andy Buckley's David Wallace can't get enough credit. To deal with a caricature of an employee like Michael in such a professional manner is just great. His calm, patient and professional manner is just great at contrasting this scene and pulling it. Great writing, terrific acting.
NO! NO! NO! Many people say I am sick in the head. NOOOO!!!! I don't believe them. But there are so many people commenting this stuff on my videos, that I have 1% doubt. So I have to ask you right now: Do you think I am sick in the head? Thanks for helping, my dear mana
Toby was right. HR is a joke…especially if it took them 2 years to fire someone who doesn’t show up for work and constantly smokes inside an office building.
Every company needs a guy like Michael. Not once in this whole series does he allow corporate to screw its employees over or blindside them, which so many companies do to their employees today.
The actor playing David Wallace is so great that not one moment do you not see him as the boss, even though he is a supporting character. Jan is simply gorgeous.
David Wallace is so brilliantly cast. I have worked and seen so many managers over my career who even looked and sounded like David Wallace! It’s unreal 😅
Jan in season 1: "Michael your branch is fourth among the five I oversee" David fires Jan. David in season 6: "You are the only branch that is profitable." Question is, was Jan so incompetent she was holding Scranton back.... or was she so competent that she was the reason three other branches were also profitable during her time? Discuss ->
Because they trust his -intent-. He might screw up, but he won't weaponise the secret. Or to put it another way, well, why do people ever tell secrets in the first place? Why do they feel the need?
But HOW did a strong, fierce character who had it all together start losing it all, piece by piece? I genuinely wanted a better character development for Jan😪
Watching all of David’s and Michael’s interactions, its funny how everyone refuse to be Michael’s friend and Michael refuses David’s friendship or simply cannot see it... (jacuzzi scene) maybe Michael has never ever known what a real friendship is... until very late in the season
David Wallace is probably the calmest, most patient, and overall one of the best bosses in the entire show. I’m glad he returned to Dunder Mifflin in the later seasons.
The Office isn't just a show. It's a lot more than a TV Show. Generally, when you watch a show you know, that it's just a show. But, In case of "The Office" you can feel it, you even might feel that it's happening in front of your eyes. You will laugh in the jokes & pranks of "The Office" and you will cry in every emotional scenes. Every moment of "The Office" is so realistic. You will feel bored if you see the same thing a lot of times but, the more you see "The Office" you will be more fascinated. And According to me "The Office" is the best show ever created. There's a lot of reasons for "The Office" to be the favorite TV Show of a lot of guys. You can really relate with any of the characters maybe you'll find yourself in any character. Every moment/scenes seems so familiar like it has happened to your life before. You can't help yourself from laughing in every prank Jim has done, every weird thing Dwight has done. But you have to cry in the sad moments even though you don't want to. Remember when Miachael left "The Office" and (the emotional farewell song) and (the last interaction with Jim). When Dwight saw Miachael at his wedding, Dwight was so emotional. Remember when everyone together was watching the office documentary for the first time in Season 9 then Oscar said, "Nothing will ever be the same again" that quote really hit me hard because "Nothing will ever be the same again since the day "The Office" was ended"
I think the show writing was brilliant at making David seem competent while still making management blunders. My favorite was him appointing co-regional managers as though it made sense. Here it is the feedback for Jan coming at a completely inappropriate time and well after anything can be rectified and after they've already decided to fire her.
Jan is the type of person who doesn't do any revision for an exam, gets 90% of the questions wrong and complains that it was too hard, that the questions were unrelated to the topic etc...
Jan: 'Ok, you know, I'm just not leaving. I'm not leaving!' David: 'Oh, I was hoping you'd say that. Please, sit. Make yourself comfortable, while I call security and have them drag you out in disgrace. Is that what you want?'
Michael standing at the door like a toddler behind her mother when she is speaking with adults.
The amount of times he's acted like a toddler is a lot.
Lol
"YOU'RE unstable.
no..."
@Mac Attack No they mean Michael's mother is Jan when he comes slowly behind her like a toddler.
@Mac Attack Oh yeah its just a spelling error
The contrast of David Wallace’s complete patience with Michael and utter lack of patience with Jan was comic gold.
Mixed with Jan's utter lack of sanity
Michael at least respected him and gave him the best he could given his limited attention span
Scranton branch was always profitable, Jan was just a trainwreck who didnt work
@@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights yep, nuttier than a fruitcake ,as they used to say
As long as you're doing a great job then you can always get away with alot more things than those who just screw around, I know by experience lol.
A lot of David's father-like tolerance for Michael is explained when you know later that Scranton was the only profitable branch out of all.
David does like Michael genuinely tho. He laughed at Michael's jokes when they first met and in the Deposition he insisted that Michael is a great guy, only bad thing he said was that he didn't want Michael in corporate (can you blame him). When he was no longer Michael's boss he was so happy Michael came to visit him.
I think the Stamford branch was the crown jewel before Josh left and the branch closed.
@@rorschac009oo8 He also offered him a joint venture with SUCKIT :D
Which was the case because it was implied that Kevin was fudging up the numbers with his own make-up numbers.
Only in fiction can anything about Scranton be called profitable
I love how calm David Wallace always was when dealing with Michael 😂
The only time I've seen him angry is when he made ryan cry
He has to be the calmest boss ever. And that's coming from a guy who he tried to fire before I quit.
Part of his job qualities is to be tolerant
Probably because he treats Michael more like a child instead of a co worker
I think it's just him being genuinely puzzled at Micheal
David: (gives rational, logical, well thought out reasons for firing Jan)
Jan: iS iT bEcAuSe Of ThEsE

Cuz he's likable.
Michael: I resent that you think I would keep that secret. Everyone here knows I cannot and will not keep a secret.

Michael was a true sweetheart in this. Instead of telling Jan that he was offered her job he'd rather start a new life with her.
Yeah, a sweetheart but also a total jerk other times to his ladies.
And then only to spill the beans a few seconds later, her taking over his condo, and generally making his life hell.
That quiet "ookay" that DW does when Michael says something crazy is gold.

The hottest was the one bending over in Jim's hotel room trying to seduce him.
