Scenes like this are why Ricky Gervais warned the creators of the American version why Michael Scott has to be shown to be extremely good at his job at times. Gervais said that if the character was shown to be a goof off who never works yet AND isn't a master salesman but still keeps his regional branch manager job, the audience would grow to hate him because it would remind them of 'that person' in their office who never seems to work, yet gets promoted. Same with the other characters who never call him out on being incompetent - because deep down like Pam sees here, they know he's for real. It's also why the show constantly focuses on the Scranton branch being the most and in some cases only profitable one within Dunder Mifflin. Ricky said that British audiences are different in that he could show David Brent being a lazy do nothing but as long as he was funny, the audience would accept it. However, American audiences are different and he nailed that one right on the head.

because that's how appointed managers generally are at the start. Michael is a manager from promotion. And he actually manages the branch where he worked as sales, which is rare in the real world, you usually get transferred to a remote branch to gather "experience". So he hit the ground running as a manager. Whereas Charles came from a different type of company, it's a whole different world to him.

It is said by english native speakers? I mean , is it an slang quote? In spanish , we use to say " the Ball is in your roof". Same meaning than Michael's sentence. In the case of having the ball on the roof, its origin comes from the children who used to play soccer in the street: when the ball stayed on a roof, the game was paralyzed and was not started again until someone brings it back. Therefore the meaning is " Now it' s your turn. The next step is yours".

It's honestly amazing how kind Michael is deep down despite his traumatic childhood. It also explains why Michael is so childish and unknowingly dickish, he essentially raised himself. I'm surprised when I hear how people hate Michael so much because he is a "bad" person. He is an obnoxious character, but he is a product of his terrible upbringings. Deep down, he is as kind as someone like Jim, if not more kind. He just sometimes chooses bad people (like Packer and Ryan) as role models as he was never taught better as a kid.
