Ok, so if you havent heard the news, i will lay it out here-
"Beginning this fall, viewers will be invited to experience "The Office" in a whole new way. There will be a multitude of interactive features, one of which will encourage users to "work for" Dunder-Mifflin. Recruits will be asked to create their own branches and complete weekly corporate tasks. Local "branches" which successfully complete tasks may be integrated into an on air episode of the show. Additional content will be made available on many platforms, including interaction with unique mobile content, a WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) site and significantly increased original content on NBC.com."
OK?
So, I intend to assemble a team to destroy all competition. I would like to extend to all of you the opportunity to join my team. Now, if any of you have any doubts as to my leadership ability, please look back to the last posting war and look at who go the job done. Also note that i am a Generalisimo, and that title takes alot of leadership.
So here and now i would like to extend to all of you the opportunity to become members of my branch. I will chose a number two and a secret assistant to the regional manager. Both positions will be posted.
I promise fair pay and i have already chosen the gold plan for health care, so....

I'm certain that Roy will also guarantee that all Canadian staff will receive full Canadian health benefits, hospital coverage not paid by OHIP or similar, paid maternity leave (up to 10 months - and women are guaranteed their jobs back, or an equivalent job paying the same salary / wage), Canadian statutory holidays (like Boxing Day and the May two-four weekend just passed), etc., as mandated by Federal law here, and that we don't get stuck with the 2nd or 3rd rate offerings that most US workers get. Also, please note that Ontario is discussing a plan to raise the provincial minimum wage to $10.25 an hour within a couple of years. Note also that smoking is prohibited in all federally-regulated buildings and industries.
P.S.: OHIP is the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. Membership is mandatory, and premiums are financed by an employer payroll tax. My company also pays 90% of all prescription drugs, 50-90% of dental costs (employee option), and a number of other things. The "gold plan" for health care as Dwight set it up isn't gold here; it would be more like something growing on my shower curtain.
Forewarned is forearmed, after all. But I have enough problems with just two.

But I'm certain that Canadians won't be eligible, so this is a moot point anyway. Sigh...

BUT, I'm applying for team cheerleader. Or mascot, I'm mascot-sized. Or Team Mom who cooks all pre-game Sloppy Joes. Because I'm impressed by the idea and the list you have going and I really want you guys to show all other Office flans who's boss!

They know they're spies. And
we know they're spies. But they
don't know that we know they're spies.
And that gives us an incredible advantage. We can let the Canadians be on our team, but we feed them disinformation, see? Then they go back to their real teams and unknowingly mess them up. It's sabotage. The ancient Dutch art of screwing up your own team. And
they will be the ones doing it.
