In the first season of The Office , Packer spoke up about how much he despised Jan a couple of times, which almost got Michael in trouble at one point. However, as soon as Michael revealed to Packer that he had gone on vacation with Jan, Packer's tone of voice implied that he was actually jealous, and started to see Jan as a catch. While some may argue that Packer's sudden change of opinion could be to support his friend who had bad luck with women up until that point, this isn't really in his character.
When Michael later got engaged to Holly, Packer actually tried to talk Michael out of the relationship, proving that he isn't really that supportive of a friend. In season 3, after Michael and Jan had a secret vacation to Jamaica, Michael accidentally sent an indecent image of Jan from the trip to the warehouse, who then sent it to many of the other employees of Dunder Mifflin, including Todd Packer, who didn't even work in the office anymore.
The events of the episode made it seem like Jan was going to find out about the image, yet this never occurred, with Jan only arriving in Scranton to say she wanted to date Michael rather than to discipline him.
This left many viewers thinking that Jan never found the image, and that the entire situation had merely breezed over. However, in season 4, the image resurfaced in Jan's court case, revealing that Jan did indeed know about the photo of herself.
For reasons that seem absolutely out of her character, Jan never brought this up to Michael or used it as a means to discipline him. Michael and Jan's relationship broke a number of rules regarding relationships made by Dunder Mifflin.
Not only were both of them corporate level employees, but Michael was also Jan's subordinate, which in almost any workplace would be strictly against company policy. Michael and Jan dated on-and-off for over a year before they disclosed the relationship to corporate, but it wasn't unnoticed.
Everyone at the Scranton branch knew about it, yet Toby never did anything about the matter. Toby briefly told Michael that he needed to disclose the relationship, but when Michael refused and the relationship continued, Toby continued to do nothing, which was grossly against his job title, as their relationship was clearly a dangerous breach of company policy.
To make matters worse, Toby still did not speak up about the issue when Jan attempted to sue Dunder Mifflin, even though he had information about their relationship that would have helped the company's case.
In "Dinner Party," when all of Michael and Jan's guests were finally sitting down to eat, Michael whispered to Pam that it was possible that Jan was attempting to poison them with the food. However, this was the only time that Michael brought this up.
For someone who genuinely believed that he was going to be poisoned, Michael really didn't seem to care, as after this point, he continued to eat his food without any concern.
While this is semi-excusable, as it was merely an aside joke, it still seemed like a rather drastic change of view in the context of the story. Granted, in today's society, it would be rather far fetched to accuse somebody of poisoning someone else, but at the same time, it wouldn't seem too far fetched to imagine Jan poisoning somebody, making this entire situation a bit confusing.
One of the most surprising, yet subtle, revelations about Jan was that she was having a secret affair with her assistant in New York, Hunter. Unlike Jan's relationship with Michael, Jan's relationship with Hunter took place directly at corporate. Considering that Jan didn't do too great of a job hiding her relationship with her young assistant, it seems unlikely that none of the other corporate employees caught onto what was going on, and it seems even more unlikely that none of them would have reported the affair for being against corporate policy.
Not much was revealed about Jan and Hunter, but that's probably for the best. At the end of the day, it's probably a good thing that we don't know what those two did together, but we sort of get a glimpse of it in the song Hunter wrote and sang that was played in "Dinner Party. When Jan attempted to sue Dunder Mifflin for wrongful termination, most of the evidence in the case was hearsay, with there only being a few written documents that helped to track Jan's relationship with Michael, which became an important aspect of the lawsuit.
For the past four years, however, the documentary crew had been recording almost everything that happened at the office, including how unethical Jan was being. They certainly had enough evidence to disprove Jan's accusations and help defend Dunder Mifflin. While it's likely that the documentary crew refused to show any of the footage in order to remain neutral, it seems unlikely that Dunder Mifflin did not at least attempt to strike a deal, and that they would continue to allow the documentary crew to remain with their company if they did not help them when they were being sued for millions of dollars.
In the show's seventh season, viewers of The Office finally had the opportunity to witness Threat Level Midnight , Michael's action-packed home movie that he had been working on for over a decade. Much of Threat Level Midnight had been shot throughout different seasons of the show, which allowed numerous cast members who were no longer with the show to return.
One character who played a role in Threat Level Midnight was Jan. While Jan's appearance was a fun cameo, as she had not appeared in the show in about a year, it didn't really make much sense. Even though Jan was dating Michael, she was never supportive of anything that Michael wanted to do, so it didn't really make sense that Jan agreed to act for Michael in his movie. The cameo was surprising for sure, but it was also incredibly forced. In one of the more iconic moments from The Office , Michael "declared" financial ruin in the first half of season 4, largely due to how much Jan was spending using his money and credit cards.
While Michael had never been good with money before this, Jan's spending put him over the edge, causing him to completely break down and attempt to run away. The solution to Michael's issue came by him confronting the problem when he told Jan about his debt. However, this wasn't actually a solution to the problem, as Jan seemingly did not stop spending Michael's money, which was shown by how much Jan had bought for Michael's condo in "Dinner Party".

Quotes [regarding her relationship with Michael] Jan Levinson : Why is this so hard? Abrams User reviews 4 Review. Top review. Is it me or something but this episode was very bland.

But just as fans thought their weird relationship was done for good, she showed up to Scranton's Casino Night in hopes of spending the night with Michael. When that didn't happen, she left angry and drove back to New York.
After Jan was embarrassed on Casino Night, she went out of her way to make Michael's job harder. She warned him that Dwight was gunning for his position, she was cold to him at the convention in Philly, and she asked Pam to take note of everything Michael did in a workday.
By 'Branch Closing,' Jan finally got her wish and tried closing the Scranton branch. It was hard for Michael not to take it personally and didn't act maturely to the news. However, when Scranton stayed open and the Stamford branch closed, Jan's hands were tied and she backed off from Michael.
That is until he invited her to an all-inclusive resort in Jamacia over Christmas time In 'Cocktails,' Jan and Michael were officially dating and handed their "love contract" into corporate. At the start of season 4, Jan was fired from Dunder Mifflin and living with Michael in his Scranton condo. The two went from being in a depleting long ish -distance relationship to living with each other in a matter of hours. They seemed loving in 'Fun Run' but the truth spilled out in 'Money. What's worse is that Jan didn't seem to care.
In the end, Michael defended Dunder Mifflin when he found out Jan stole his journal and used it against him for the deposition. Their relationship came to an end in 'Dinner Party' when Jan and Michael's differences ruined a sweet dinner party with friends. But their relationship didn't stop there. In the season finale, Michael found out Jan was pregnant.
It turns out that Michael wasn't the father of Jan's baby. Instead, she went to a high-end sperm bank while she and Michael were still together because she wanted a baby — just not Michael's baby.
