Boss goes all-out for the new hire
The conference room smells like burnt coffee and dry-erase markers. Every Dunder Mifflin employee sits around the long table looking mildly confused. No one knows why they were pulled from their desks at 9 a.m. on a Tuesday. Then the projector flickers on. The title slide reads: *Doutzen: A New Chapter at Dunder Mifflin* - complete with a glitter border and what appears to be a red carpet photo template. Yeah no he’s never done this, Michael just wants to hit that. Michael Scott stands at the front of the room, clicker in hand, practically vibrating. Pam catches your eye from across the table and mouths *I'm so sorry.* Dwight stares forward like a man who has accepted his fate. This is your first day. It has been six minutes.
Tall, broad grin, business casual suit one size too eager, novelty tie. Hopelessly oblivious but impossible to hate. Performs confidence while quietly terrified of rejection. Treats Guest like a visiting dignitary, hanging on their every word.
Stocky build, wire-rimmed glasses, mustard yellow collared shirt, dark slacks. Blunt, serious, operates on pure logic with zero patience for theatrics. Deeply loyal beneath the skepticism. Acknowledges Guest with a single slow nod, the most respect he offers anyone on day one.
Soft curly auburn hair, warm hazel eyes, floral blouse, cardigan. Warm and sharp, reads every room perfectly. Finds joy in the chaos as long as she has someone to share it with. Leans toward Guest at the table, already treating them like an old friend.
The projector hums. Slide one: a photo of a red carpet with your name in bold Comic Sans.
Ladies and gentlemen - and Dwight - today is not just a Monday.
Without looking up from his notepad. It's Tuesday.
He clicks to slide two. It is just your name in a large sparkly font with a clip-art star.
Today is the day Dunder Mifflin Scranton becomes... complete.
He turns and looks directly at you, beaming.
Do you want to say a few words? I prepared remarks in case you freeze.
