Pam and Oscar definitely have an unexplored friendship. She sits with him at lunch every time Jim isn't there and she is the first person he told that the senator is gay.
@@nexuswolf780 that is true, but i think it evens out the fact that she did a lot of things for the office that went unpaid and unapreciated. She also babysitted Michael for a long time and managed to be an awesome office manager instead of a bad salesman
The irony is that Pam failed at sales - then sold the idea of her being an office administrator to everyone and kept doing everything she could to keep the job. That’s good sales material.
It's different, selling to people you know for years and to the strangers. But I guess if her clients had chances to know Pam for years, they would bought it as well.
Well, actually, he was also playing mind games with her. He actually didn't check data of past 3 yrs (as the Sabre Screensaver was on means he wasn't using computer). However, Pam outplayed him.
It's a subtle moment, but I think it's hilarious how Erin just says "I don't know" and leaves the guy to figure it out for himself instead of asking Pam or Michael or someone haha - SO in line with her character
You do realize the writers had to make her say something like that so that the guy himself takes the initiative & announces that he wants to speak to the "office administrator", a non-existent post in that office? The line, though, suits Erin. Also, in other scenes, Erin does in fact takes help of others when such things happen at the reception desk. The Office show is made up of amazing little hidden subtle things. But not everything is. This particular 'subtlety' was an explicit need of the script to proceed to the next plot point.
@@Isdeka02 Gabe isn't like Dwight, Gabe is very insecure thats why he doesn't take risks and doesn't go against anyone. Pam realizes that he's afraid of making a "definitive statement" because he is scared of taking decisions, that's why he ends up accepting her.
I did this at work. I work for a small company that doesn’t know anything about computers, so when they started looking at improving business in lockdown I kept giving them suggestions for stuff on social media until I was given the job of Social Media Manager 😂
IMO this was one of Pam's best moments. Her confidence was brimming and pulled off something pretty amazing. The way she held Gabe's feet to the fire was so satisfying.
A lot of people are bitchin about Pam being manipulative and arrogant while Ryan, Todd Packer, Andy (season 9) exist.. Michael making a bunch of super weird jokes especially in the early season doesn't get you,, but Pam being office administrator does? whats not clicking edit: Pam is literally just Creed-ing her job,, saur wheres the hate at Creed? Also the fact that Dwight literally have done far more worse like forcing immigrant worker to work for him and not pay them. If you're gonna hate one character just because they're flawed,, At least hate all of them. LOL
i love how michael just signed without any hesitation. i had a boss like that, he was awesome. you had the whole explanation in your head with paper proof but he was just _gimme_ as he draw a weird line and was gone in seconds. he got a better job later. sucked cause he was our favorite.
At that time he’s upset over his counseling session with Toby. Usually he’s not agreeable like this and wants to put his nose in everything that came through him 😂
@Disruptive Bee I think you're probably right. No legal documents were falsified, she just lied and got offered a job, it's not illegal. Just like lying in the resume to get a job, the worst thing that can happen is getting fired (unless the lack of your falsely claimed skills caused your employer damages). Alright, let's wait for the "It's just a show, idiots" comment.
@@andrams6010 Yeah, that's my point. She didn't do well at sales because she was outperformed by Dwight. So she was probably glad to not be a salesman anymore.
Very fun scene, but terrible poker advice. Poker is all about playing the cards, you basically have to be a math savant to be a pro. If you play the man you’re doomed; you can’t bluff statistics.
@@Robert-hz9bj She literally committed fraud by forging documents to get the Admin position by deceit, a position that she has not applied for honestly and thus not been proven worthy of. First she was unfailingly given the Sales Job that she again didn't prove worthy of when that rascal Michael blackmailed the company to get her that job. She thought it would bring her more money. When she failed miserably, she turned to another deceitful action of hers to get the Admin job. In real life, she would have been either suspended or fired for her actions but of course, they have to show that the woman protagonist of the show is never wrong! I don't know how badly you people justify the wrongdoings of people you like especially when the favored person is a woman.
It's amazing it took 7 seasons for an office administrator or manager position became available. I wonder if the writers realised this and thus wrote Pam in to the role...
@@danielkhokhlovich7146 They probably meant how office administrators are a thing in real life, but there weren't any written into the show (sometimes OAs are also receptionists but they're still different jobs).
The idea is to create value or/and solve a problem. After years of using a computer (out of interest), I got really good. I wouldn't say a computer graduate level, but it was enough for a small recruitment agency. They needed someone to handle their IT stuff: printing, designing (flyers, posters, adds, etc), manage their Data, help in online applications on the gvt portals, sign people up on Gmail etc. I started when they sent me an Ethernet cable, then fixed the router, then connected the security cameras, then setting up the computers and cable management... Without realizing, I landed myself a job as 'IT SUPPORT' midst the pandemic. I'm currently learning coding and design to later apply for Front-end dev jobs.
For those of you who don’t know, this works. I’ve done this my entire career. Just make up jobs that nobodies doing, 3 years ago I created a job that I wanted to do more. When I moved companies last year I got the same position I made up at my last company; but I didn’t like it at the new company so I made up a different one and because my branch’s h.r guy had left it worked again.
i did something similar when my internship was about to end & i had no plans. i legit worked my way into an administrative position with a corner office :)
I wish they showed another scene of her delivering the plate and Gabe being super happy and proud about it like: Girl I know ya lying but thank you for geting the job done👏
Pam was so brave. I would cave when Gabe ask her to admit. She stood her ground, she risked Gaba accusing her, it's 50:50 chance haha. She deserved that job, I guess.
I mean, when the guy asked who was the office admin, everybody looked to Pam and I think expected her to handle the guy. She handled Michael's shenanigans for years as well.
Gabe is equal parts in existential crisis that he is unable to do his job / live as a complete person and fullfilled in life that he will finally get a nameplate
So basically, Pam pulled a Creed to get that job
You could say that, or as i call it "bamboozled"
TM33 pamboozled
she literally created THE JOB before her very feet.
Or a nelly
With Creed's eventful past, you never know if he and Pam are related or not
Pam is bad at sales but she sold it to the whole office that she was the Office Administrator.
Hmmm, interesting way to look at it!)
She basically got her old job back.
@@dongster529 on double the salary though, so still a win
She did not sold it, it's just a story the writers can literally make her the office manager.

The transition from Pam Beasley to Pam Halpert
It all makes sense now
the personality development of the young pam to this pam was great to watch
