This season highlighted Michael's roller coaster relationship with corporate, as he is first praised and rewarded for impressive numbers despite the economic downturn. However, when a new boss is hired Michael feels slighted by his controlling manner.  The theme of the beginning and middle of the season was mostly personal relationships with Dwight, Angela, Andy, Jim, Pam, Michael, Jan, and Holly. However, the theme transformed into career growth, as Ryan, Pam, and Michael set up the Michael Scott Paper Company, Pam and Michael go on a lecture circuit, Charles takes Jan's and Ryan's job, and Jim has trouble getting on with Charles.  The last few episodes of the season focused on relationships once again, with major events taking place in Jim and Pam's relationship, and also with Holly and Michael.

The seventh season of ''The Office'' largely revolves around the character development and departure of Michael from the series. After Toby is called for jury duty, Holly returns, causing Michael to once again pursue her, despite her being in a relationship. After eventually proving himself to her, the two get engaged, but Michael decides to move to [[Boulder, Colorado]] to help Holly take care of her elderly parents. After Michael leaves, the office is forced to choose a new manager.

===Season 8 (2011–12)===
{{Main|The Office (American season 8)}}
On March 17, 2011, NBC renewed ''The Office'' for an eighth season,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/whats-alan-watching/posts/nbc-renews-the-office-parks-and-recreation-and-community|title=NBC renews 'The Office,' 'Parks and Recreation' and 'Community'|work=HitFix|last=Sepinwall|first=Alan|date=March 17, 2011|access-date=March 18, 2011}}</ref> consisting of 24 episodes. This season focuses on [[Andy Bernard]] becoming manager of the Scranton branch, before being replaced as manager by Nellie Bertram ([[Catherine Tate]]) midway through the season. [[James Spader]] also became a regular cast member, playing the role of [[Robert California]], the new CEO of Sabre. Also, Jim and Pam welcome their second child.

The eighth season of ''The Office'' largely centers around the antics of the new Sabre CEO, Robert California. Initially, he appears calm, collected, and calculating. However, as the season progresses, it becomes obvious that his management style is slowly destroying the company. Dwight—along with Jim, Stanley, Ryan, Erin, and [[Cathy Simms|Cathy]] ([[Lindsey Broad]])—travel to Florida to help set up a Sabre Store, where [[Nellie Bertram]] ([[Catherine Tate]]) is introduced. Eventually, former CFO of Dunder Mifflin David Wallace buys back the company, firing California.

Major characters Michael, Jim and Pam do not appear in ''The Accountants'' webisodes. Instead, the focus is on the three members of the accounting department: Oscar, Angela and Kevin—who appear in each webisode—as they try to find $3000 missing from the office budget. The series won an [[Emmy Award]] in the "Outstanding Broadband Program – Comedy" category at the [[34th Daytime Emmy Awards]] in 2007. Tim Stack of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' graded the series with an "A−" and wrote, "While we miss [[Jim Halpert|Jim]] and [[Pam Beesly|Pam]] (not to mention star [[Steve Carell]]), these shorts prove that spending time with their excessively awkward co-workers can be just as sweet."<ref>{{cite magazine| url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1228401,00.html| magazine=Entertainment Weekly| access-date=2008-08-24| title=''The Office'': Webisodes (TV Review)| author=Stack, Tim| date=2006-08-18| archive-date=October 3, 2008| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081003042956/http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1228401,00.html| url-status=dead}}</ref>
