Every bit the series progresses, Ryan begins to display a groovy deal of contempt and disdain for both his coworkers and his job. This becomes more than apparent when Ryan is promoted in "The Chore" to work at Dunder Mifflin'south corporate function in New York. This leads to Ryan becoming an egotistical braggart despite lackluster sales skills. In the season 4 finale "Goodbye, Toby", Ryan is arrested for committing fraud. He is eventually released and required to work community service.
In the flavor 5 premiere, Ryan returns to the Scranton branch later Michael arranges for him to work Pam's job. However, his malevolent aspirations to climb back to the top of the corporate ladder are revealed when he adds Jim and Kevin to a list of people who "will exist sorry" when he returns to the peak.

Many of the staff, most notably Jim and Pam, notation Ryan's ineptitude as an employee and that he sponges off his parents by living with them and driving his mom'southward car.
Seasons 1–ii [edit]
For the first episode and for much of season i, Ryan's purpose in the show mirrors that of his British equivalent, Ricky Howard. He is the audience surrogate, assuasive other characters to innovate themselves to him, and by extension, the viewer.
Ryan was hired to supervene upon Tom Peets, an employee who had lost a boxing with low and committed suicide presently before the start of the series.[2] Tom is first referenced in the flavor 2 episode Performance Review, where a note from him in Michael Scott'south long-ignored proposition box requests counseling for his depression.

In Launch Party, instead of inviting Michael to the Dunder Mifflin Infinity celebration in person, Ryan puts him in a visitor chatroom where Michael, highly angered, calls Ryan an "asshole" with the unabridged company watching. In "Night Out", Ryan tries to indirectly confide to Michael that he has a drug problem, merely Michael ends up giving Ryan useless advice from The Wire. In a deleted scene, Michael is in bed with Ryan asking "Do you lot miss usa?," to which Ryan declines to answer. Michael later is devastated when he learns of Ryan's arrest.

Jim Halpert [edit]
Initially, Ryan and Jim got along well in the offset iii seasons and both seemed to respect each other, almost to the point of being friends. However, hints of a time to come rivalry were shown in "The Merger", where it is revealed to Jim that Ryan took his old task afterwards he transferred to Stamford. Despite this, the 2 still got along fairly well with piddling to no badgerer from each other. However, after Ryan was promoted to his corporate mail service equally a Vice President of Sales for the company, he began behaving in a self-absorbed and egotistical manner, causing Jim to lose much respect for him.
Their relationship presently turns into ane of bitter rivalry one time Ryan learns that Jim has been discussing with the CFO, David Wallace, the downsides of Ryan's company website. One time Ryan begins feeling overly stressed with the failure of the website, he turns to drugs and drinking and decides to find a way to burn down Jim, fearing that Jim is undermining his authority and making him look bad to his superiors. He first puts a shocked Jim on "alarm" for all of his pranks on Dwight, flirting with Pam, and inadequate sales figures, then pressures Jim to record a huge in-person sale equally one made through Dunder Mifflin Infinity. As Ryan tries to fire Jim under false pretenses, Jim begins to develop raw hatred for him. Jim is also shown to be delighted when Ryan was arrested for sales fraud and is relieved that his job is finally safe from Ryan'south paranoid business practices. Later Ryan was released from prison, he returns as a make full in for Pam later she goes to pattern school and immediately apologizes to Jim, admitting in a very contemptuous and egotistical fashion, simply Jim accepts his apology regardless, though not without sarcastically mocking him regardless (in his apology, Ryan expresses pride in "giving back to the customs", to which Jim responds "Y'all're talking almost your court-ordered customs service?")
In one case Ryan is rehired equally a salesman before being demoted back to a temp at the company, he forms a bond with Pam, slightly softening his bitter relationship with Jim.

Since then, Ryan and Jim seem to have resumed their quondam business relationship with the two no longer butting heads and even associating with each other in a friendly way on a regular footing.
Dwight Schrute [edit]
Much like Jim, Ryan saw Dwight as an extremely odd and annoying person, stating in "The Return" that he volition not miss Dwight after Dwight quit temporarily. During "The Initiation", Dwight takes Ryan on a serial of bizarre tests to prove himself a worthy salesman. This does nothing except infuriate Ryan, who cannot believe that the all-time salesman inside the company can deed in such a ridiculous fashion. Regardless, Dwight tells Ryan he only wants to get along with him, unlike the way he and Jim worked together, and the ii bail by throwing eggs at the potential buyer'due south company building when they refused their offering because they did not like Ryan.
In season four, Dwight seems to respect Ryan much more than after he was promoted to vice president of Northeast sales, with Ryan also seeming to tolerate Dwight much more than previous seasons.
