EVERY ONE of the people Jerry hired were "not performing?"
It's a 6 person office (at most.) All FIVE were bad at their jobs and had to go????? And all at about the same time?????
I gotta ask.. what does that say about Jerry's abilities as a manager? He hired nothing but deadwood? Then went on to replace the deadwood he'd fired with a guy he'd already sued for theft and fraud????
That explanation is absurd, and there's ZERO evidence to support it. What gives you reason to think Shuman wasn't performing? What makes you think Drnec failed?
So.. let me get this straight... everyone didn't quit at once, they were all fired at once for "not performing." And who did Jerry recruit to replace them all? Well... a guy he'd previously sued for fraud and theft, that's who.
Sorry, that explanation doesn't make a bit of sense.
