Trivia / The Office USSE 23 The Job

• What Could Have Been: Several endings were planned out for the episode, one of which was Karen being given the job at corporate. This was changed because Rashida Jones wouldn't be available to make recurring appearances due to her commitment to Parks and Recreation.
• Word of St. Paul: On the Office Ladies podcast, Paul Lieberstein debunked the rumor that Ryan getting the corporate job was done to free up B.J. Novak for his behind the scenes jobs. It was actually done because the writers believed Ryan becoming Michael's boss had the best storyline potential.
