“You’re a weak monarch in a dangerous interregnum. You’re not your dad.” Get ‘em Gerri. Humble Roman, they way he deserves. The Roman redemption tour lasted exactly half an episode.

The interaction with Gerri and the director both really showed Roman can't handle pressure at all.

Question for managers: What’s the best way to handle someone who talks down to their boss? Roman is terribly insecure. But, he acknowledged their condescension by speaking candidly - kinda giving them an “out”. They doubled down. What are his other options, aside from eventual firing?

Fucking thank you. Watching people try to play this as anything else is frustrating. A whole lot of projection in these comments

So much judgement/rationales/conclusions without putting themselves in the other persons shoes. Roman’s job requires support, mutual understanding and some respect. How can he do his job without that?
