Why put the meeting in his diary then? She couldn’t wait?

@@Noscrapsinmyscrapbook the meeting wasn’t scheduled for the day of the funeral it was for another day

yea cause he doesn’t gaf about any of them. they’re all just accessories to his pathetic, desperate grabs for the power he wants but constantly fails to get. and a lot of it is rooted in his desire to own the women (especially the woc) in his life. he wants the kids the control rava and her emotions (which he perceives as dramatic while throwing a literal bitch fit himself). and he wants to own jess and have her be his dog, like hugo. but they’re both smarter than that so they fuck off to go live lives unaffected by kendall’s delicate feelings and desperation to make his dead dad proud.

I mean, he should be, she's his "Right Hand" in my eyes.

​@@UzumakiNagatodon't have kids lmao

when has he shown her a modicum of consideration throughout the entire show though?

His kids don’t do anything that results in him being happy. 🤣

It's what he was born to do.

yes...and I so hate it he is becoming more and more like Logan :(

@@danielastefan7274 Well, this is what it means to be Logan's number one boy unfortunately. The series was either going to end with him recognizing the value of his family and his humanity and walking away from it all. Or he'd turn into this. A selfish, egomaniac consumed by power- the poison dripping through.

@@rheaelise4540 u are wrong. jess is the child here. ken is better than logan and that's why she sticked through. this is nothing more than bad writing.

Obviously.

He’s a Roy, are you surprised lol

that's a given; when did Greg had any shred of integrity?

Thats a really low bar, man

She was also a more interesting and charismatic character than Greg

Yeah a little Executive Level Business could have brought her around

😭😭

Because Jess didn't say : "Open Relationship"

I just noticed

She must be thinking: "I can't believe I'm working with this clown for so long."

Which scene was that?

@@theKayPeeAy oh that was in the karaoke nightclub thingy the sibs go to. A few minutes before Logan intervenes

He called Shivy Pinky and now wants his old father friend to work with him besides last episode he literally tells his wife '' all I do is for my kids'' you cant get more Logan than that lol

Finale sucked

And also being an absentee father who barely look up on his own kids. Even when he's with his kids, he feels disconnected just like what happened on Season 3, his kids are there but he doesn't interract with them very much and nearly drowning. Just like Logan who feels disconnected to his kids since they were little. But the difference is, Logan was too busy on his work and didn't have time to spend time with his family while Kendall is mostly abandon them not just because of work but also for party and drugs.

Hugo is making millions, Jess is not

@@rayraze8311 I dunno, I think Kendall is rising to the top only to be fucked over by Menckyn and Mattson

Could be A Michael Corleone situation where he's boss but contemplates at what cost but I think it's gonna be a bit more tragic than that.

Jess has leverage. Maybe not “millions” leverage but my guess is she’s already well paid and could ask for more, the way Greg extracted a promotion from Tom by blackmailing him with the cruise documents. Kendall used to make Jess fetch him cocaine ffs, she’s smart enough to make use of that kind of information if this were just about money for her.

@@rayraze8311you don’t understand the show. like somehow you’re reveling in a fictional power grab and taking some dorky ass pleasure in the idea that if she isn’t his bitch, it’ll ruin her life. jess’ll do more than fine, she was willing to give up access and she’ll be able to get another job with ‘ea to a ceo’ on her resume. go watch another show that’s not laughing in your face if you wanna pretend you’re a powerful, rich person. this is satire, not a power fantasy 🥴

@@robertcross9047I think you are watching the show wrong if you are agreeing with kendall

​@@philswift1 Yep, I think they are. It's seriously amazing how people watch this show and miss the entire point of how wrong people like Kendall are.

Thats why this show is so great. I remember freelancing for someone right out of college doing motion graphics...but only getting paid in "exposure" and like 20 bucks a day. I did it because I needed the work to make a nice reel to get a real job. Jobs back then were asking for 2-5 years experience after college and a showreel of the work you've done. Anyhow, once I starved thru that two year experience I had a decent reel I was looking to move on..I told the person I was working with and she went IRATE on me and kicked me out of her office.... I had NOTHING, but my reel. She told me id never get a job (those exact words) and how much she was doing me a favor. I ended up getting a corporate job two weeks later. She emailed me an apology, but I never responded or said anything else to her ever since that day...like 15 years ago. Worked out well for me.

@@willwhite6110 Employers feel so entitled. It's weird.

I was rooting for her the whole time. Was hoping she would play the role behind the scenes longer and help alter the directions. Politicians and corporate executives have aides handling and influencing everything.

@@olorin1710That’s always the fantasy, some old West Wing “a few idealists can change the world” type fantasy. The truth is that one or a few persons cannot change systemic issues. It takes an entire movement to do so.

​​@@olorin1710 Exactly I though she would became a member as close to him as it was was Gerri or Frank to Logan but the Reality is that she still has basic human decency and the best for herself is walk away from the Roy's and Waystar.

@@artarealmblazer8452 yep. jess is powerless in this situation and did the best thing she could’ve by separating herself from kendall and the roy’s. ppl are being dramatic and saying she “betrayed” him but she did the completely rational thing. just leaving a job that doesn’t benefit her.

Honestly the fact that he didn't even try to offer up like a possibility of career advancement or anything...he undervalues her so much. Glad she's getting out of there; at this point that job is becoming a weight on her resume rather than an asset. Cut and run.

Rava used Ken also

To achieve his ambition, Kendall is now becoming self-centered like his father. Imagine my shock.

It's not about ambition, it's the show being woke. The scene between Greg and Jess last episode was also about that.

@@mac2857 WTF! That is a brain dead take, mate. What does that even mean in relation to this scene? Please explain, is the show woke now because the only black character in the show is showing a bit of spine?

@@mac2857black woman speak = woke

kendall’s relationship to women is SOOOO well written and some people are so media illiterate that they can’t understand kendall’s relationships to women are criticism of men who act like this. he thinks he owns every women and resorts to hysteria and bitch fits when he discovers women aren’t actually his mindless slaves. and when he’s confronted with the idea that he is 10000000% a misogynist, he childishly flip-flops between telling himself he’s powerful for saying/doing misogynistic things cause he’s too stupid and immature to manufacture any other kind of power for himself beyond saying degrading things to his sister, treating his assistant like he owns all her time and labor, or trying (and CONSTANTLY) failing to manipulate rava who’s too smart to ever fall for his bs again. or he’ll try desperately to prove he’s a feminist so he’ll feel validated in his need to feel like a good person, despite not being one. he wants every bit of power logan had over the women in his life but he wants to pick and choose those women and have them hand over their agency willingly. logan had dogs, the kind of women that he had in his life were a very specific kind. either misogynistic (or indifferent) women willing to give up everything to be bought off by logan (or in shiv’s case, power and attention) or weak women who he took advantage of with all his power. but kendall can’t have everything he wants, just because he wants it and he doesn’t understand that. he not only thinks he’s entitled to women, he thinks he’s entitled to women on exclusively his terms. but is too stupid and sexist to see that every woman in logan’s life was both severely traumatized by him and also only around him for their own benefit. like gerri especially, she’s a good counter to jess. she’s willing to take it, all of it, cause she’s rich and powerful. all the men she works for/around treat her as a token woman and degrade her 24/7 but she’s indifferent cause she values money and power and doesn’t care about being respected by men or maintaining agency. which is problematic in a sense cause obviously she’s still a very privileged person, but also a perfect example of how a lot of women interact with misogyny. they dgaf and ultimately benefit from their indifference. but jess and rava got out and will still be better off for it outside of the roys bubble of desperation for un-tactful power and control over them .

that’s so long lmao you don’t have to read that 🥴

@@ac-ye6sf I did. It was good. You understand the individual characters quite well and the dynamics that play out between them and other characters who, for the sake of scripted television, have only one or two layers (at best) to their personality and motivations. In real life, people can be more complex. I haven't been with the series long enough to have your insight into the characters but I see Kendall as a beta male with other males but in this scene, with a woman, because of his misogyny, his disdain allows him to be an alpha. He is an awkward alpha, however, as if he is not quite sure what to make of all that is left unsaid, and would rather move past it so he can get back to thinking of himself and what he wants and how to get it. Just make take on it.

It's true, but it's a little ironic that she's only now getting on her high horse after a presumably long career with Waystar (even going back after the cruises scandal became public). She's definitely doing the right thing by getting out (as they all should), but the fact that she can now put "EA to a CEO" on her resume was probably just as major a factor as Kendall's attitude or the ethics of the company, if not more.

people would try to argue with this even though there’s a million examples but the best one is when he called her when his dad was dying, threw out some weird requests for specific (and non-existent) kinds of doctors and told her he needed it in 3 minutes. like i’ve never been anywhere close to a job like this on either side but there’s absolutely no way that’s normal 🥴. like he thinks she’s a genie or a minion or something to just materialize the incoherent things he wants and thinks out of thin air because he pays her. exactly how people like this act irl

I am an ea to a ceo and this is spot on!! It is like being a mom to a self centered toddler! Albeit well paid, it can be thankless depending on who your boss is. We see a lot

My boss made me cry when I tried to quit lmao

This reminded me so much of when I left my first job too. Caught the CEO to let him know right before he left on a flight (purely by accident - it was the first window available after I got the offer). I remember basically taking the same tact as Jess - just kept repeating that it was a good opportunity and it was a good time for a change. He tried to convince me multiple times, asking about the company, the pay, if it was something he'd done, if I'd reconsider, etc. Just kept repeating the same thing. Thankfully he only had 20 minutes so he couldn't grill me for too long. There's no easy way to have that conversation, even with good bosses.

It's called money.

@@winstonwolf5706 Yes. That is usually what people do when they go to work.

""Black""

jess is black??

i was also under the impression that she's like the only black character

The actress seems to identify as white on the website biographies. Looks to have a black mother and a white dad

@@olivertinker She referred to herself as black in a recent article. I think it was published yesterday in reference to the election scene. She's playing fugitive slave Ellen Craft in a movie. Canfield also had an interview in Essence, the magazine for black women and wears her hair natural. I don't know how she identifies though.

EXACTLY. he treats her like a genie or a minion to just throw his incoherent wants, needs, thoughts, and feelings at. and feels entitled to own every second of her life because he pays her salary. a well written criticism of the MANY real people like this who just want slaves. like the money he gives jess is insignificant to him, so he basically just wants to own every second over her life and then can feel entitled in his desire to be served because he pays her well but he doesn’t understand that the problem is wanting to own all her time and labor in the first place, even if he’s paying well for it. she’s a person, who felt that her personal well-being was more important than the money and access he can give her, something he should learn something from but won’t.

Uh-oh. Are you oppressed? btw, Jess is biracial.

yep and it’s well deserved. he needs to understand that logan didn’t have bonds with people. he 100% owned every single person in his life (especially the women) and kendall wants to have all the power logan did while also being able to maintain real human relationships (even transactional ones). an extension of his s3 plot line, he thinks he’s entitled to women especially in the same way logan did but logan bought off the women in his life. that’s why he kept gerri as a yes-man but jess is a perfect counter to gerri and the other logan dogs. someone who removed herself from that bubble of toxicity and maintained her agency (or a guess took it back), as opposed to dedicating her life to serving the roy’s.

​@@ac-ye6sfIt's also irony that throughout Season 1 and 2, Kendall wanted to throw Logan out as CEO and wanted to stay away from him as much as possible but in the end of the day, he starts to become Logan 2.0 and the people around him is either stay away from him because they don't want another Logan or just be his dog.

which episode and scene is that?

​@@hazardousjazzgasm129Back in Season 2 when Tom threw water bottles to Greg on Safe Room

You're joking

@@yanquiufo7113 no, they’re right. gain media literacy.

@Tony From Syracuse Haha that wasn't for selfless reasons.

To be fair, I don’t think that this is a good reflection of who he is at this point. He was kind of just triggered by her reasoning, considering he already feels guilty about the election and now his own wife is acting like he’s a danger to his own children. So when one of the very few people he actually trusts tells him that she’s leaving because of how they handled the election, it just further proved that it’s not just his wife - there are a lot of people who look at him differently now. That’s why he says the line “you’re being stupid, everyone is being stupid!” It’s not just about his assistant.

@Tony From Syracuse He didn't lend a hand to Colin. Kendall wants Colin to work for him because he heard he was seeing a therapist and didn't want him spilling anything he shouldn't be. Also, he's basically turned into his father, so Colin is just another step in that transformation for him since he was his father's "best pal" or whatever Logan called him earlier.

And now Jess works for Larry Fink.

ppl who dislike jess and rava are hugeeee red flags. the places they hold in the plot are so important. two woc distancing themselves from the roy’s (specifically kendall’s) bullshit. they function perfectly in their roles as like this shows version of a straight man. they completely rational people just trying not to get steamrolled over by these powerful, reckless people they’re associated with. they both ultimately realize the kind of people the roys really are and come to their senses, leaving them (as much as possible) to go be normal people somewhere else, (rava especially) drifting in and out of the show to represent the ways that ken is changing while maintaining agency, which is just good writing. but the kendall pathetic fanboys who can’t tell when the entire show is mocking them to their face.

there’s so many typos in this 🥴

Rava was hysterical and Ken was right in everything he said and did. Hope he gets those kids out of that brainwashed woman's hands before it's too late.

​@@ac-ye6sf You sound like a very poor and very emotional being. The show clearly tells us the truth about life, nobody is altruistic. Money always does win. Period.

Surely there are more than 2?

She didn’t stick by the company, she stuck by Kendall. Kendall spent basically the last 2 seasons, technically the last 3 seasons plotting against Logan and the company. So she might have had an easier time separating him from the company especially since Kendall made that whole “we should have a moment of silence” speech about the victims

@@JasmineCB2013 "she might have had an easier time separating him from the company" Why did still she stick by him when he literally became the CEO of the said company that is stained by these crimes? It's simple, because she's unbothered.

@@gimmedatthing7829 Because he's spent nearly the entire show trying to prop himself up as someone who wanted to take over in order clean up his father's mess and build a modernized "fuck the patriarchy" image in its place. She knew who he was, but for most of the time she worked for him it seemed like he could be swayed to make decent calls, even if he was only doing it to spite his father. This is the first time he's been directly responsible for something that was both morally reprehensible and personally and professionally detrimental to her.

​@@hazleweatherfield968 The crimes of sexual harassment were not dealt with and people have gone unpunished - if Ken represented a better future, this would have changed as soon as he coming to power. The fact that nothing changed and she was totally okay with it does not support your argument.

@@gimmedatthing7829 "if Ken represented a better future, this would have changed as soon as he coming to power." The original plan, was for all the siblings to buy Pierce-the liberal news station- for 10 bil once the company was bought by GoJo. But Logan died. Kendall and Rome got CEO power a day after their dad died, and then a few days later was the Election. Boom, Jess quits the very next day. This all happened within a week. Kendall asked why and she said "I've been thinking about it for a while." So this probably HAS been bothering her because the plans from the original changed so fast. But decided that was her last straw.

If he had never seen his name underlined, he’d be so much happier. Instead, he’s trying to get the validation of a guy who’s literally dead.

What in the actual f*ck are you saying? This guy chose a literal Nazi sympathiser as his President. Jess doesn't matter to these people. She's doing what's best for her, considering the climate around Kendall. Yet your take away is that we've become seperated by political views? I know for sure if any member of my family supported a Nazi sympathiser, I would ignore them.

@@user-ml6jb8hr4i Lol “betrayal”. She doesn’t want to work for this nutjob anymore, it’s really that simple. It’s wore her down. She’s her own person with her own priorities.

Jess didn't really do anything to Kendall. He can find anyone else since a position like the one Jess has will always be coveted by some other person, and there's nothing she's gaining by leaving him. It's true what he said of probably not being able to find the access she's had with him in another job. Besides, she hasn't sold classified information to anyone that we know and being the professional she is she maybe will never do that. How is that a betrayal?

yea and the sane people are out while the roys throw bitch fits and destroy themselves because they think a little bit more power (than the tremendous amount they already have) will fill the weak, kicked-puppy hole in their heart left by their psychopathic dad. kendall didnt ‘win’ this interaction cause she left. the place she (and rava) hold in the plot is this shows version of a straight man. they disassociate themselves from kendall’s hysteria and are better for it.

He wasn’t wrong by saying she was making a mistake because it’s true, she had exclusive access to how the real world works and eventually would have been an asset Kendall couldn’t lose. In her eyes, Kendall already lost therefore Kendall was smart to weed out anyone who isn’t willing to battle with him, like Hugo.

If you're trying to solidify power in a crucial time to maintain a high level position, it is not a good idea to let employees who know where all your bodies and buried walk. Jess knows more than enough to hurt his reputation if she wants to. He should have offered her more money, opportunities for advancement, something. Even an acknowledgement from him that work has been chaotic and terrible lately would likely have gone a long way, but he couldn't even offer that. A CEO who does not value the people who work most closely with them will not be CEO for long. This demonstrates to me that, despite all the moves to make him seem like his father, Kendall is still not the player he thinks he is.
