I said come in! posted:Please tell me there is a real life story behind the inspiration to the ending of tonights episode because holy poo poo There's an inmeasurable amount of examples of this if you go looking. Basically, the point is to bait the employee into quitting on their own so that the business can circumvent employment priority rules or so that they can avoid any benefits the employee would be entitled to if they were actually let go. Big organisatons do this all the time. Bigheads roof situation in season 1 was the parody take on this while what happened to Jack here is actually more realistic. Sweden's largest morning paper tried this a few years ago to get rid of 12 senior journalists during a downsizing spree. They fabricated a fake project and placed them in a storage basement for the better part of 14 months. Over half of the journalists quit out of frustration before the union caught wind of what was going on and sued on the behalf of the survivors.

This is my first time watching the show since I started trying to learn how to code (sick number guessing game in my python console, yo) and I actually know what they meant by "pushing"! Woooooo! Anyway, I am still way more invested in the drama than the comedy of the show because the ratio definitely feels tilted that way. Hope it gets to actually move a bit more this season. I really liked Richard's peaceable solution with his crew, and Dinesh getting to be CEO was really sweet. Tragic lack of Jian Yang.

Because he's a passive aggressive rear end in a top hat. He would have come across as the dickhead if he just put his foot down and said "no, we're going to Moffatt" and he's more comfortable being in a position where he's been wronged somehow.

And Jack could easily have done the same thing about his new office. They're both passive aggressive weiners.

Good episode. Died at the Papa Roach. Almost as good as the Limp Bizkit. Any Russ is good. The flight path stuff was great. I do feel like they recycle the same poo poo over and over though, like replacing the CEO every 3 eps? Check.

If you want to establish a douchebag character, having a lacrosse stick and a Tom Brady jersey in his office is probably the best way to do it.

Lets gently caress this thing right in the pussy! He says, outside of an elementary school. And somehow Russ is one of the most level-headed dudes in the episode.

It's funny that they have licensed practically every lovely nu metal mega hit now for Russ to peel off in his car to.

Richard sucks. He only doesn't like the video chat app because it isn't his and his new idea is basically that thing from The Dark Knight but with the internet.

Even for the Pied Piper failure rollercoaster, it was a pretty weird decision to have the guy famous for defrauding VCs performing the abduction/sales pitch, and not even rename the company to buy them 30 seconds.

I hope that Richard leaving is a real change and let's the show give at least part of the gang some sustained success for once instead of yanking the rug out from under them as soon as things start to look up

Cojawfee posted:Say you want to build a tic tac toe game. You can just sit down and use someone else's tic tac toe langauge and be done in two hours. but ideally, you would design your own tic tac toe language that no one will iterate on because they will build their own. That would take two years. When it's faster to do it wrong, no one will do it right. But is it SOLOMO?

I'm disappointed that they didn't follow through on Monica being fired and joining the team, but the bathroom view office was great.
