Sunday, August 12th 2007 - [928]The new guy (17 of 35)
Original Commentary
I had to check my notes to find out who owned how much of the company. The score in the flashback was - Mr. and Mrs. Taylor: 15%. Grandpa Taylor: 65%. Dan Thompson - 5%. Other minor employees - 5%. Senior partners - 10%.
And I had meant to mention that Mrs. Taylor ran HR, but hadn't have a chance to until now. I had meant to mention that Mrs. Taylor was extremely busy because of the company expansion, but it didn't come up. So what was Dan doing back then? Not sure. I was leaning towards truck driver, back in the early days, but he may have had some kind of lower management role - Terrence
Modern Commentary
Yeah, Grandpa Taylor retains power by playing his family members against each other. I won't say he's responsible for all the conflicts in the series; the Taylors all have their own issues.
