Jimmy TRIES to Get Fired | Better Call Saul (Bob Odenkirk)

[@reallymakesyouthink]

The origin story of Saul's suits being purely to piss off his boss is brilliant.

[@ShizukuMizuchi1]

I love how no matter the color combination, no matter how much they clash, he still looks great in every single one of those suits.

[@valgoyt912]

I love that most of them clash aggressively

[@bartholomewdan]

Apart from the one with just the bright orange tie. The others were decent but that was a proper optical migraine.

[@snapgab]

I think it actually highlights an important message, a criticism of corporate America that runs as a prominent theme throughout the entire show. The reason why Jimmy didn't fit in was never about his ethics or lack thereof, it was about him having an actual individual personality, rather than being a soulless blob that would fit whatever mold society made for him.

Honestly, that would be a hilarious way of quitting a shit job in a bank or a supermarket, but in a sucessful lawfirm and with such nice and polite colleagues, just makes Jimmy look like a jackass, even more so because he's doing it to keep his bonus. It's understandable his urge to quit because he doesn't feel like he fits in - believe me, it's shit to work in a place in which you don't feel like you fit in or don't seem to get use to it - but to annoy everyone in order to get fired with a bonus pay it's pretty petty.

[@BDNeon]

Yup, Clifford was nothing but straight with him and even gave him a chance after that stunt with the commercial, which was also just an incomprehensively stupid and self-sabotaging move on Jimmy's part.

[@4Syorha]

​@@BDNeon the commercial was nice tho. Cliff shoulda been more considerate with his words while still giving him the warning.

[@4Syorha]

Well the despite the warnings against him they coulda been more considerate with him, like he coulda confided about his relationship with Chuck and how he as Jimmy worked with things.

[@PsypherWolf]

@@4Syorha He was, that's why he gave him 2 strikes instead of three, and it was not so much because of the commercial itself (which had it's own set of issues) but because he went over his head about it.

[@4Syorha]

[@quineloe]

a serious law firm like D&M doesn't want to be seen battling in court whether firing someone over a teal suit is cause.

[@dashx1103]

Depends. Jimmy, in this case, was working pursuant to an employment contract ... so it really comes down to the details of that contract. Most of us are "at-will" employees, which means any grounds other than legally discriminatory grounds are "good legal cause."

[@catslino5037]

Being disruptive by showing up drunk? Justified, Being disruptive by playing the bagpipes? Not unless specified in the employee's contract, which it wouldn't because Davis plays guitar in his office

[@Mediados]

Depends on the established rules. Cliff seems like someone who has a very lax office culture and allows many personal freedoms. As long as Jimmy doesn't violate any rules they set up, being an asshole is not cause for termination.

Wait a minute...so pissing in the sink is a bad thing? I just did a google search for " r/sinkpisser" and I had no idea there were others...and sure as hell didn't expect to see an entire community of people who pissed in the sink like me. I started doing it about 30yrs ago when I was in my late 20s. Now I am not doing it to save water or any silly shit like that, it just makes so much more sense to go to the sink lay my dick in there and turn the water on and start pissing and washing my hands at the same time. Mind you I don't piss on my hands while I am washing them if that's what you are wondering (I'm not a retard) Maybe I am ahead of the whole "multitasking game" here but anytime I can combine two things accomplish them both in one step I am going to do it and if pissing in the sink is wrong I don't want to be right!

Nah, Chuck wasn't ever going to see him as anything more than Slippin' Jimmy - he says himself that he doesn't believe people ever change. Jimmy had already done plenty to legitimately earn Chuck's love, but Chuck was himself a damaged person who would never be capable of forgiving Jimmy's mistakes and moving on from the past. Glad he died.

[@harrylarry6324]

@@evanherb5900 I’d say Chuck dying being a good thing is definitely wrong. While yes, Chuck was a terrible person, his death prompted Jimmy to actually become the terrible person Chuck previously thought he would be. Chuck wasn’t right about how people don’t change, because ironically, the way he treated his brother was what played a major role in changing Jimmy into the person Chuck accused him of being. And Chucks death definitely did not help change that factor whatsoever.

As much as it was bad to get fired by annoying decent people, it was pretty scummy to add a clause in the contract where not only would he have to pay all that money back by quitting, but if he stayed long enough there he would also have to pay that bonus back plus interest. That’s how these firms get you, just when you think you settled in they force you to be in debt and you’ll end up paying that forever before you even get anywhere in firm.

[@miguelporras8366]

Jimmy fucked them right. Made them win a lot of money building the class action case, getting all the elders interested through a succesful ad and still put Erin to babysit him as an indirect dismissal to make him quit and deprive him of his bonus. That's how law firms truly work: a ponzi scheme. Dont get me wrong, he had to be punished for indiscipline (airing the ad on his own), but the overwhelming success of the ad, which made the case stronger, was a mitigating circumstance. Putting him a babysitter was not proportional to the misdemeanor

[@jacobmichigan3351]

I do this employment law work in New Zealand and clients do things like this so they can be 'unjustifiably dismissed'. It happens all the time and the settlements for that is about $15k USD lump sum. If it goes to court and a judge rules in the employee's favour, that number is about $30-40k, despite the fact these clients all heavily contribute to such.

Jimmy has a lot of good qualities. He’s smart and hardworking and compassionate and dutiful to his brother and a supportive husband. But he’s also determined to break rules and ignore the businesses and institutions that he works under, even the ones that treat him decently. Sometimes, you root for him because he’s the little guy getting one over on the big guy. But no one can live like that, constantly deciding when it’s okay to lie and scam, and not eventually rot their own morals. So (spoiler) in the end, we have a guy who’s drugging cancer patients and robbing them while they’re passed out. Similar to Walt, in a way.

[@imge509]

Meh, I'm on Jimmy's side. I mean, I understand Cliff's reasons but having an intern following you around, really annoying one, over a commercial is just insulting. They hired him because he found the case all by himself in his own way and now they don't even let him use his skills. Not to forget that shitty commercial they did for freaking senior citizens who can hardly hear you shouting to their ear let alone care for some monotone lawyer quickly reading over a script about some lawyer mambo jambo. How are you supposed to defend your client when you are being actively kept away from seeing them by the opposition? They were using dirty ways to get around so how are they supposed to win the lawsuit without getting dirty themselves? Unlike what Chuck believes, they don't have to pass over the line to be evil.

[@somedorkydude6483]

im going to point out his law degree isnt the only thing a law firm looks for when you get hired. Sometimes they will look at cases you worked on as a public defender. Infact jimmy got the job because of the class action suite. There was no nepatism involved. you only need to attend law school so you are eligable to take the bar exam the actual way you become a lawyer. Chuck had to take the same exam. Although the bar exam is personalized. Jimmy earned this job fair and square. Jimmy didnt appreciate it though. This isnt a justification but, jimmy's biggest motive to change is usually people in his life since he puts their lives above his. However, he progressivly lost that motivr because chuck was an asshole and kim deap down was more facinated than disgusted and it eventually revealed its ugly head. If this was season 1 jimmy he would of been more greatful. But post chuck he just finds it agonizing because he doesbt want to listen to somebody elses rules.
