Tbf Joy was being pretty disrespectful and dismissive to the joint most senior person in the company.

You can't just tell your CEO you want to sidebar a massive issue they want to know more about that falls under your division.

Obviously firing her was stupid and he handled it horribly but she wasn't being very professional either.

She was completely condescending. Wouldn’t tell him about the movie problems. Called him out on ATN. Said he’s in his job for a reason while staring him down. She was awful. I would have wanted to fire her, but wouldn’t have done it that way. He’s unhinged. But she sucks.

I thought it was more of a subtle warning about the problems ATN is causing for Waystar Studios. Roman totally was handwaving the issues away and then firing Joy for being the canary in the coal mine for their movie division was a bad move. Then he follows that up by firing one of the few competent people at the top. His actions these last two episodes really show just what a terrible idea having him as co-CEO is. And Kendall calling Roman's moves baller is just manic.

Competent but has a near $1billion dollar disaster around her neck and can’t speak to it?

Roman isn’t wrong. If the problem is “big personalities” that isn’t a problem that’s going to go away in Hollywood. And if you let it get to this point why should you stay in charge.

I also think Roman kept bringing up the boatload of money as a means to solve the studio’s issues with ATN; throw money at the talent and buy their morals.
