| - In New Boss, Charles Miner is introduced as the new Vice President of the Northeast Region, filling the position vacated by Ryan Howard at the end of the fourth season. Although initially getting along with Michael, his arrival to Scranton reveals him to be the main antagonist of the fifth season, monitoring everything Michael does and frequently interfering with his management style. Charles has an accounting background. Prior to joining Dunder-Mifflin, Charles worked at Saticoy Steel, a fact which shocks Michael, who believes that only someone who comes from the paper industry has any right to be a manager at a paper company. Charles's no-nonsense approach clashes with Michael's carefree management style. Charles announces cost-saving measures, and his cancellation of unnecessary expenditures strikes a nerve when Michael's fifteenth-anniversary party is put on the chopping block. Michael ultimately quits. In Two Weeks, Michael tries to steal customers and recruit his former workers to form a new company but Charles has him thrown out. Miner's control of the Scranton branch declines when Michael, now in charge of the Michael Scott Paper Company, is able to steal Dunder Mifflin's biggest clients and hurt the company while at the same time going bankrupt itself. As this continues, Charles gets more and more frustrated, but puts on the facade of nonchalance when the CFO comes to the branch. Michael makes an agreement with CFO David Wallace to return to his job and appoint sales positions for Pam and Ryan. As Miner leaves the branch, Michael gets his revenge on him by abruptly interrupting his final words and demanding he leave the premises the same way Miner had Michael removed from the branch. In "Secret Santa," all of corporate is fired, including Charles Miner and David Wallace by a company called Sabre. In "Viewing Party" when Michael is listing all his former bosses he mentions Charles when he says "Charles was fired".
