This U.S. adaptation -- set at a paper company based in Scranton, Pa. -- has a similar documentary style to that of the Ricky Gervais-led British original. It features the Dunder-Mifflin staff, which includes characters based on roles in the British show -- and, quite possibly, people with whom you work in your office. There's Jim, the likable employee who's a bit of an every man. Jim has a thing for receptionist-turned-sales-rep Pam -- because office romances are always a good idea! There's also Dwight, the co-worker who is successful but devoid of social skills and common sense.

Michael and Jan try to land a new client by taking him out to Chili's; back in the office, Jim finds a script written by Michael and the workers cannot resist acting it out.

Everyone is on edge during performance review, including Michael, who steals the employee suggestion box to get ideas he can present to his boss.

When Michael begins monitoring their e-mails, he manages to upset all the employees.

After Michael suggests a game of "Yankee Swap" with the Secret Santa gifts, everyone fights over Michael's gift to Ryan, bringing morale to an all-time low.
