Tim seems to have a good track record of running through staff. Classic narcistic management behavior. He likes the idea of being the head honcho of a big boy organization, but he's utterly incapable of realizing being the head honcho of a big boy organization means you can't be micromanaging everything and have to share the limelight with all the other people who make up large organizational structures. This goes doubly true for a media organization staffed with people who have narcistic personality traits to begin with. Its often why the CEO's and Board Members of big Media companies tend to be buttoned up banker/accountant types, while the Vice Presidents and Division chiefs come from the artistic and content side of the business. They know how to make the product, but they are too fucking childlike to be trusted with running the entire company and need some slick haired back ass hole to call them fucking retards every now and then.
But not Timmy. He's a big boy, and anyone who calls him on his shit, like Adam, gets gone. Probably why he keeps Ian around. Dude clearly doesn't know wtf he is talking about and exists to get told he's wrong by Tim. Who gets really mad when Ian occasionally sticks to his guns and argues. You can tell this irritates Tim to no fucking end.
