[edit] Biography
In The 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.
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 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. Michael makes an agreement with CFO David Wallace to return to his job and appoint sales positions for Pam and Ryan, and also firing Miner. 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.
