Were Jim and Pam the only unlikable characters?

i hated how they constantly harassed Dwight and looked down on virtually everyone in the office.

they seriously treated Dwight badly and made fun of virtually everything he said or did. Dwight did some funny things but they provoked him into doing many of those things

they made fun of Dwight and Angela being together. i remember them laughing and i think they used the word "gross" even but i may be mistaken. anyway, they said some harsh things about them

they made fun of Michael and Jan being together saying some rude things about them to

Jim dumped Katy rather abruptly and just walks away from her leaving her stunned during the episode "Booze Cruise"

i think he dumped Karen kind of abruptly to while in New York City

i think the other characters on the show were genuinely decent people but Jim and Pam seem rather smug, arrogant and judgemental of everyone.

the worst thing is they do all this knowing they are being recorded and don't even care that someday the people they are putting down may actually watch this footage from the documentary and feel hurt

all the characters have their quirks so maybe Jim and Pam were just written this way. i admit they aren't as annoying in the much later episodes (still annoying but not as much lol), so i guess the writers just wanted to show them evolve into more decent people as the show went on

I absolutely detested Nellie's character. When I rewatch this show, I just skip the episodes when she takes over the manager job until she gets kicked out.

Andy, Jim and Pam are the most unlikable characters in my opinion.

I also don't like Angela, Phyllis, Charles Minor, Oscar, Ryan..

Meredith and Kelly are not that annoying, but a bit useless

Toby is also useless in his job, and he's slow, boring, lacks personality, has no backbone, charisma or anything interesting to say or do, and looking at him makes me fall asleep out of sheer boredom, but Michael hates him so much that it actually becomes a little bit funny at times.

Me too! Can’t stand her and skip her eps too.
Meredith is so skanky! I cannot tolerate her, at all.
Angela is so misunderstood. Yes she’s a bitch , but is a hopeless romantic disenchanted with the ugly world. And she’s a cat-lady , like me.
Kelly is adorable.

For me, Pam became rather unlikeable after her marriage to Jim. She sort of lost her sweetness. Jim became hen- pecked after that too.
