In Good Company / int_79bfd876	comment	The Only Believer: The world of advertising is portrayed as being full of people who are just trying to make a buck by making people buy things they really don't need. Dan Foreman on the other hand is in this because he believes he's really helping people make the best decision for their businesses and futures.

Of course, when it's his turn to fire people, he realises the benefits of trying to let people down more gently. It doesn't work, of course, as they have no idea what he means.

In Good Company / int_c3c18143	comment	Hope Spot: Initially, it seems as if the threatened mass layoffs will be avoided, and Carter will be able to get away with just firing the Pointy-Haired Boss serving under him. However, several scenes later, Carter's boss demands that he start "letting people go" left and right. Related to those layoffs, it looks as if a cross-promotional deal might be able to prevent them, and the executive and Dan meet with seems receptive. Then he explains that his new parent company is feuding with Teddy K and won't let them do business.
