"You expect to be screwed by your company. You don't expect to be screwed by your girlfriend."

Yeah, the joke was lame.

The line wasn't meant to be a joke. Michael was being earnest and explaining why he turned on Jan.

False.

It was meant to be a joke to the audience.

Michael himself did not say it as a joke.

Yeah. This is what I meant but I guess it wasn't that clear. Obviously there's a little pun there with the "screwed by your girlfriend" remark but it wasn't intentional by Michael. He is earnestly explaining that his feelings were hurt by Jan and this is why he chose to support the company.

A nice episode. As others have mentioned I love how they set up a typical sitcom reconciliation moment by having Toby share something personal only to turn it on its ear by having Michael slide Toby's food on the floor (i'm laughing just thinking about it).
