Comment on ‘The Office’: Greg Daniels Opening Development Room To Explore New Series Ideas

Executive producers vary in involvement, responsibility and power. Some executive producers have hands-on control over every aspect of production, some supervise the producers of a project, while others are involved in name only.

Regardless, in this case, wouldn’t you think that if she had financed and starred in the show, that she have some creative control?

I don’t know. It’s possible but it does look like Mindy Kaling’s production company is one of the companies involved in the show and from your link:

As in film, executive producer credits in television are also commonly applied to individuals who are involved in the production in a more hands-off capacity, such as the owner of the show’s production company.

It does look like the show was created and developed by Charlie Grandy and articles seem to refer to him as the showrunner.

  Additionally she did write on Veep and she was allegedly integral to some of The Office’s most lauded episodes
  
  Imo her hate is pretty unwarranted
