Unveiling the Truth Behind Toby’s Dismissal: A Deep Dive into the Reddit Theory
The Reddit theory delves deep into the intricate details to present solid evidence supporting Toby’s termination. While not explicitly listing each incident, u/Primetime22 highlights, “Nearly every act of harassment, racism, violence, and general misconduct that the Dunder-Mifflin Scranton branch ever experienced is neatly documented whether these events were recorded by Toby or not.”
The Allegations Against Toby
The theory suggests that the bulk of ethical violations and mismanagement can be linked back to Toby’s desk in The Annex. Furthermore, it posits that David Wallace, the company owner, would have witnessed these transgressions unfold in the documentary, expressing his disapproval during the finale.
Toby: A Scapegoat for Misdeeds
Adding a final layer to the discussion, the Redditor speculates that Michael Scott’s consistent portrayal of Toby as a villain may have contributed to his notoriety. This portrayal could have facilitated the decision to lay the blame solely on Toby, making it convenient to tie up loose ends by ousting him. This could also explain Toby’s evident despondency during his return for the panel and Dwight and Angela’s wedding in the series finale, as he carries the weight of every ethical violation in the show’s history.
In conclusion, the burden placed on Toby, whether as a scapegoat or a genuinely guilty party, undoubtedly marks one of the most dismal character arcs in “The Office.”
