Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Dunder Mifflin" in English language version.
A crushed Jim took a job at the Stamford branch of Dunder Mifflin, and fans of "The Office", most of whom appear to have spent their summer composing YouTube tributes to the would-be couple, have had to wait patiently for the two to be reunited, even as work buddies ... Thanks to cost-cutting, Dunder Mifflin's Stamford and Scranton branches are merged in Thursday's episode, with comically disastrous results.
The power relationship is much more emotionally involving. Consider the episode ("Local Ad") where Michael tries to produce an advertisement for Dunder-Mifflin using all the talents of his branch, only to be coldly ignored, to such an extent that we do not even see his effort get rejected. The ad they produce is pretty good— stupid, obviously, because the guy never realizes what he's saying — but the concept is good. If "Corporate" had supported their efforts, they could, in fact, have created something effective and earned the goodwill of employees who had cooperated. But power is the only commodity that matters in the corporate hierarchy, more so even than profit. First, these little guys in Scranton start thinking for themselves, then what? So you do not get the wrong idea, though, the writers go a step further — Michael suppresses his employees' creativity, imposing his (naturally moronic) ideas on them. Bosses are bosses ... It is not coincidental that the man who imposes all this on Scott is former temp Ryan Howard, who gets his MBA and leapfrogs everybody to become his boss's boss, despite having never sold a single sheet of paper.
Fictional-brand fandom has real precedence. Last year the online store 80sTees.com named Duff beer, from 'The Simpsons,' the No. 1 fake brand — beating out T-shirts for Dunder Mifflin, the paper company on 'The Office.'
The tower looks exactly the same as it does on TV, although company President Douglas Fink says there are plans to add a Dunder Mifflin logo to one of the tower's black circular insets ... Fink adds that the attention from the show has led to a greater awareness of his business.
He identified Scranton as the birthplace of senators Robert Casey Jr. and Joseph Biden and the branch office of Dunder Mifflin, a reference to the NBC sitcom based in the city.
Michael shares his British mate's arrogance, self-absorption, and cluelessness, but he possesses his own brand of vanity, as well as a wonderful tendency to be sinister toward his colleagues. The latter is apparent as early as the second episode, "Diversity Day", in which Dunder-Mifflin employees are subjected to two excruciating cultural awareness seminars after Michael performs a Chris Rock routine on '"the two different kinds of black people". The second of the two seminars is an impromptu forum run by the clueless perp himself.
On the second floor of the building adjacent to the set is the writers' room. Below it is the Dunder-Mifflin warehouse. In one of the writer's offices, the show shoots any scene in which Michael looks out his office window down at the Dunder-Mifflin parking lot
The paper company in Scranton most viewers associate with the show would be Pennsylvania Paper and Supply. Its 225,000-square-foot (20,900 m2) headquarters with landmark tower is featured in the opening credits.
So during the opening minutes of last night's episode of "The Office" on NBC we had confirmed that Dunder Mifflin has a BUFFALO branch. How cool is that?
Sure, I loved Office Space, but that was different. In that movie, Initech didn't look like a fun place to work. Far from it. Who would want to work for Bill Lumbergh? It had been fun to mess with him, I guess, but his responses are so one-note and monotone that it'd get old after a few weeks. No, the difference is that I would love working at Dunder-Mifflin, simply because every single person in the office would provide me with hours of entertainment.
