I've watched like 4 episodes of the office, but we're talking about the same guy, right? The one who is a middle manager at a small sales office in Scranton? Pretty far cry from growing a company from $0 to billions in revenue, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, and upending a global industry. In 8 years.
- jon_richards 9y agoIt was a plot point of the show that his branch was the only successful one. The company was literally selling printer paper in an increasingly digital world. He may not have made billions of dollars, but he still succeeded at a seemingly impossible task.
- ethbro 9y ago> creating hundreds of thousands of jobs I'd say it's a stretch to call these jobs until they're proven sustainable without VC money subsidizing drivers.
- ryanwaggoner 9y agoFair enough. How about: "he convinced billionaires to give generous subsidies to hundreds of thousands of working class drivers"? :)
