Silicon Valley - Gavin is fired from Hooli

This was so icy. See a man. Push him into the ocean. He struggles to stay afloat. Offer him a hand. He takes the hand. Finds out it was a disembodied hand, that belonged to the only woman he ever loved. Leave him with the hand in the middle of the ocean. Icy as fuck.

Stephen Tobolowsky is such an under-appreciated actor. I love his expression after Gavin's ID card is disabled. It's smug, victorious, and seems to say, "You've been treating me like shit and now you're going to get your comeuppance."

I've heard of people being fired this way. Intercepted at the entrance when their card doesn't work. Hustled into a little office where their personal belongings await in a box. A few emasculating neutral words that mean "you're fired." A signature or two, a cold handshake, and then a guided walk out of the building. Just -69C.

I'd love to see a silicon Valley 2 where rather than Richard as the startup, it's Gavin. In the end, Richard becomes just like him.

[@rhanlon70]

Gavin is a cautionary tale, and one way to look at Silicon Valley is Richard's struggle with going down the same path. It's all very Luke/Anakin.

[@Alex-de8kd]

Gotta love how Gavin is such a sociopath that he has to narrate his emotions due to inability to express them correctly.

[@esquire9445]

So funny, this is 1985 Steve Jobs vs John Sculley. Jobs hired Sculley, Sculley pushed Jobs out... and then Jobs founded NeXT and made the operating system for macs which Apple desperately needed and when Apple bought NeXT Jobs became the CEO of Apple again.. Lol

[@twisterwiper]

True. The similarities are striking. Obviously Mike Judge was inspired by those events.

[@travisbickle4360]

That's not what happened. Jobs tried to fire Scully was while he was on trip to China. Scully got tipped of at airport and convened an emergency board and brought Steve. He asked them to choose between him and Steve. Obviously Steve was not mature and him getting fired from Apple and Next being a failure led to him becoming more practical and Humble

And there was nothing that he could do about it. Barker was an action man, and Gavin wasn’t. And he had to sit still and take it. It was among the CEOs. It was real Valley shit. They even closed the doors on Gavin, so he couldn’t walk away from it all.

[@edmis90]

How exactly can someone get fired from his own company? Can someome explain that to me, please?

[@aratyal]

edmis90 there's a board of directors/major shareholders they can have a meeting of no confidence against the ceo and vote him out. They can hold an emergency meeting to vote him out. Where the majority of shareholders need to turn up. Anything anove 50 percent even 51 percent. And they can vote him out without him having to be there. Simple Majority against the minority.

[@edmis90]

But aren't they HIS workers because it's HIS company? This is honestly beyond me to comprehend as to how is that logical. :(

[@aratyal]

edmis90 when he founded hooli lets say he had 100% in order to get funding and scale hes had to sell shares. So lets say there's 8 board members all with 7% percent in hooli shares. Equaling 56 percent overall and gavin belson owns 44 percent. He still owns the most sole shares. But if they were to gang up they would own the majority and its there choice. If they dont gang up and they look out for their independent interests gavin influences the board with his sole 44% all he needs is one more person to get to 51% and do what he wants. They in no means work for him. They own stake in his company and its gavins job to give them a return on their investment. And even with just 44 percent he owns the majority of sole shares so own the company

[@aratyal]

edmis90 also lets say gavin doesnt give them what he wants. They then can threaten to sell their stock which will look like insider trading (dumping of stock that makes it seem lile the conpanies in crisis)causing hooli stock to crash and theyre monetary worth to lessen
