[edit] Season 1:
Toby is divorced and has a daughter, Sasha. Toby is hated by Michael because as HR representative, he is always stifling Michael's inappropriate fun. He is also the only person in the office to continually address Michael like an adult, instead of pandering to his antics.
[edit] Season 2:
Toby once sat by Jim but was moved because Michael thought they talked too much. Toby brings his daughter to work during Take Your Daughter to Work Day.
[edit] Season 3:
Michael moves Ryan to be near Kelly, which annoys Toby. He is unsure whether this was intentional on Michael's part. He has a crush on Pam and spent hours trying to win a stuffed animal from a crane machine that she likes only to have her suggest he give it to his daughter.
[edit] Season 4:
Toby wins the 5K run in Fun Run. In Night Out, it is revealed that he will move to Costa Rica. In the season finale, Toby has a huge going away party, which Michael says matches the joy in his heart.
[edit] Season 5:
In Weight Loss, he appears at the ending. It is shown that he is in a hospital in Costa Rica for breaking his neck in a zip line accident. Finally, to Michael Scott's absolute horror, Toby returns in Frame Toby. Michael is desperate to get Toby fired and goes to a sketchy place and buys pot, which he then puts into Toby's desk. When the police come, the alleged "pot" was just a salad. Michael seems to hate Toby even more, if possible, ever since.
