Nice that at least one of the guys was understanding of Jim's position. I also get why Jim would be pissed at Isaac for saying what he did there. Now that Jim's 100% family first anything to derail that, yeah would be bad.
Sorry Brian but you don't have the full story. You may think you do, but nope.
Nice to see that Jim and David are still on good terms. Nice way to repurpose lines from canon too.
Author's Response:
I mentioned before how I find Isaac to be the douchiest out of all of them, and really I wanted to present that he probably didn't *mean* to offend, but what he said was way out of line.
Ah, Brian, we hardly wanted to know ye.
Thank you! I always liked Jim and David's professional friendship, and I'd also suspect that David would be shocked because he's an entrepreneur himself (SUCK IT!).

“Are you really going to have your wife dictate your life for you?” Yikers, Isaac. Not the way to make your pitch to Jim Halpert. Definitely feeling the awkwardness of this departure, though.
Ah, Brian. If only we could have left it at that.
Feels like David Wallace might potentially come through as a Jim savior here...
Author's Response:
Yeah, Isaac didn’t really make a good impression when he was onscreen, I’m just tapping off that energy.
Brian will continue to show up, but sparingly.
And yes, David does have plans for Jim.
Thanks for the review!

Well I'm an idiot. I didn't realise this wasn't not a one shot, so I'm really happy to see it's not over yet!
Really liked that we got to see what went down at Athlead (loved your little reminder at the end, thank you for that!) and how everyone reacted. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Author's Response:
Thank you! You’re not an idiot, I never made it clear that there’d be more to come.
Glad you appreciate the end note, it even helps me keep track of who’s who from what little we’ve seen of Athlead. I figured there’d be mixed feelings on the matter of Jim leaving, with even Darryl wondering why he’d ever want to leave.
Thanks for the review!
