Meanwhile, a pair of business consultants, Bob Slydell and Bob Porter (colloquially known as the Bobs), are brought in to help the company downsize. Peter finally shows up at work and casually disregards office protocol, including violating Initech's dress code, taking Lumbergh's reserved parking spot, refusing to follow Lumbergh's directions, and removing a cubicle wall that blocks his view out the window. The Bobs are impressed by his frank insights into Initech's problems, and they decide to promote him despite Lumbergh's misgivings. Michael and Samir, however, are fired. Milton is also expected to be eliminated, but it is learned that Milton's contract had been terminated five years prior, of which Milton and the accounting department were not informed. To avoid confrontation and riding on the hope that the issue will resolve itself naturally, the Bobs and Lumbergh inform only the accounting department and cease Milton's salary payments, without telling him he has been terminated.
