Her personality is hilarious and her lies are a good source of comedy and perfectly fine targets for ridicule. It's when people (and I am not saying someone is doing that right now) start analyzing the way she pauses between words and how this means some poo poo or when people start digging into the trashcan of history looking for dirty laundry that it goes full goon into webdog territory.

In the interview, she mentions that Chelsea comes from a hospitality background. Chelsea left last year, at around the time when Sandi recorded herself firing someone via phone telling them they come from a hospitality background, and telling them to work at McDonalds. I think it was hinted by someone else that Sandi recorded a real firing for that showreel (which explains why she actually has emotion in her voice and face). Was this how she fired Chelsea?

[Showreel: http://resumes.actorsaccess.com/sandigardiner - Click media, then 'Reverse the Verse (Performance Video)']

This will be the most direct thing I will have said.

You know that old adage about "act with what you know"? Those words, used by Sandi in that recorded talent tape, were used on someone within CS dead in front of the Santa Monica HR person. The CS person was not fired that day. The CS person left.

Chelsea did come from a hospitality background. Sandi could learn something from the hospitality industry.

Like work ethic, and teamwork, and responsibility, and service...

He's intensely unlikable but I still pity him more than anything. He's a traumatized grown child attempting to live his dream and it's going to burn down all around him and leave him worse off than he was when he started. Chris, Sandi, and all the real pieces of poo poo will have something squirreled away to at least try and make off with. Lesnick is going to be left holding an empty bag to cry into. I can't bring myself to hate him because I'm so absolutely sure that he's going to end up devastated. His fate is pretty much written in stone at this point.

Thanks for this.

I seem to remember Sandi and Ben joking on a RTV or ATV about 'firing people', so I wonder if that happened at the same time too?

No wonder the 'CS' person left after that... that's a loving nasty thing to happen. I've worked in similar toxic environments, but nothing as openly berating.

And all that is fair enough. My point is one that has been made numerous times about Ben and “him, in the wheelchair”: just because there's some cause for pity does not mean a person stops being a complete asshat. They're not mutually exclusive states, and it's important to remember that one does not cancel out the other. At best, one can offer an explanation for the other, but no excuse — without such an excuse, I just can't see any reason why it would be sob-worthy.

Maybe so, but his own asshattery started long before SC with his zealous hunt for thought criminals in the WC community. He's most likely a highly crucial component in what has made SC such a cesspool. If his fate is sealed, then at the very least he held the candle that melted the wax it was stamped in. Or, as the saying goes, karma is a bitch — other people being worse doesn't make it any less so.

This implies the whole thing was like 90% ready if they had assets working and whatnot. I wonder what happened.
