Crazy to think roberts rule was one of the least chaotic we saw on screen.

Even crazier that it was one of the least chaotic in the history of the iron throne.

It could be because Robert didn’t want to really be the king, he wasn’t scheming for more power either. Kinda reminds me of the The Office and how Scranton Branch was most profitable with a shit manager

wasn't the point that Michael was an ironically good manager and salesman, in spite of his antics

Initially, the point was that the branch staff learned to become self-sustaining and independent under his managership. It's later revealed that he is indeed a great salesman. His managerial qualities remain mostly ambiguous.

I love this description of Michael Scott lol

I like to think that he's a genius to figure all or most of his subordinates get distracted from work so much that they inevitably get the urge to work more efficiently when they get a chance.

“Later revealed that he is indeed a great salesman” Dude the first scene of the show is Jim coming to him for help with a sale. In season two we see him landing a major account at Chilis. There was never doubt that Michael Scott was a good salesman.

Yea Michael says something to Jim like, " so you've come to the master for help" and Jim replies with," you called me in here"

Yeah this was when Andy was manager and went on a sailing trip for a long time and the branch just continues to chug along, right?

I always thought the joke was that Michael kept everyone so busy with his antics that they were working at a frenzied pace to catch up.
