Jan Recommends that Michael be Demoted

In last night's episode, "The Deposition", it is revealed to Michael that Jan stated in a performance review that Michael is unfit for a managerial position. Perhaps she would have preferred Josh, former regional manager of Dunder Mifflin Stamford (the poor man's Michael Scott), who was such a good manager that he did not mind the fact that all the employees that worked for him were laid off or transferred to another branch, simply because he, himself, wanted a better job. It was also apparent in the episode, "Survivor Man", that Jim, who was supposed to have been the one promoted to replace Jan, is incapable of managing the Office. It is not so easy to manage people like Creed (ex-con?) and Angela (high maintenance and moody).
