With an overnight bag in her Volvo shown to the audience, it is heavily implied that Jan has developed feelings for Michael. However, upon being invited by Michael to the company casino night, she is emotionally hurt by the presence of his other date, Carol Stills, and hastily leaves. Her appearances in the second season during a 'women in the workplace' seminar and a financial presentation with CFO David Wallace continue this rejection, despite Michael's advances.

Michael's attempts at a meaningful relationship stemming from that night are rejected, as Jan open-endedly states that she is not ready for a relationship. At the end of the episode, Jan and Michael share a kiss. During the meeting, Jan is unimpressed by Michael's casual and joking attitude, but changes her mind when Michael and Christian's bond leads to Christian closing the business deal. Her character is expanded upon, and changes in tone during ' The Client', when Michael and the recently-divorced Jan attend a business meeting at a Chili's with Christian, a highly-valuable potential client. She continually reappears both over phone and in person over each season to assert corporate policy on Michael, specifically with health care plans, sexual harassment concerns, and downsizing. As Vice President, her authority leads her to inform Michael of the impending downsizing or closure Scranton's branch faces. Jan is introduced in the pilot episode of the series. Her counterpart in the British version is corporate manager Jennifer Taylor-Clarke, who was played by Stirling Gallacher.Ĭharacter history Season 1–2

Michael and Jan's personas contrast to much humor in the series, particularly in their professional attitudes and social interactions, although Jan's erratic and sexually-domineering state of mind leads to her firing. Her character is notable for the dysfunctional relationship she enters with Michael following the second-season episode, ' The Client', until the fourth-season episode ' Dinner Party'. She is the no-nonsense Vice President of Northeast Sales at the paper distribution company Dunder Mifflin, directly supervising central character and Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch, Michael Scott.
