Malcolm is an older staff member, he is naturally most worried about the prospect of redundancies and therefore often challenges David Brent's handling of the situation, criticizing his relaxed attitude, his lack of management ability and several incidents, such as hiring a personal secretary when the office is facing redundancies.

History

Series 1

Malcolm was very worried about the prospect of being made redundant and confronted David about it. (Downsize)

Malcolm, again, confronted David Brent about the prospect of being made redundant in a staff meeting, where David reassured Malcolm and the rest of the staff that nobody would lose their jobs. Malcolm was skeptical, but David asked Malcolm to rely on his trust of David. (Work Experience)

Malcolm was also critical of David's response to finding out that Chris Finch was responsible for a pornographic image distributed among the office that David no longer saw it offensive or fit to punish Chris. (Work Experience)

Malcolm formed a quiz team with Dennis called "Malcolm and Dennis" who came in 3rd place in the annual quiz. (The Quiz)

Malcolm attended the training session with the rest of the staff. (Training)

Trivia

  • Malcolm's episode count is 6.
  • Malcolm did not appear in Series 2. It is more than likely he was made redundant and Brent kept his promise of not saving Malcolm's job for his consistent antagonism throughout the series.
