1. "We had no idea he was grabbing pussy"

[octoberlib]

2. "It was just locker room talk!"

[BigmanPigman]

3. How can he be fired by his own company?

Didn't he have financial control? I thought several on the board already resigned. If he was going to be fired why didn't they stay on?

6. Maybe they had ignored complaints

[octoberlib]

7. Apparently not because they fired him. They wouldn't be able to do that if he was sole owner.

10. Technically, the board is in charge of the corporation

so they can dismiss the CEO anytime. If the CEO controls most of the shares, he can put up a fuss and try to have the board removed, but it doesn't look Weinstein is going that route.

12. His brother was co-founder/owner, love/hate, long wanted sole owner

[Phoenix61]

4. Damn, fired from your own company

Exactly how big of screw up do you have to be for that to happen?

[Angry Dragon]

9. The same thing should happen to Trump

[former9thward]

11. If he was still alive you could ask Steve Jobs.

Apple fired him.

5. Good. n/t

8. Stories about this cretin have been circulating the internet for decades.

Just Google "Harvey Weinstein" and "Gwyneth Paltrow".

13. IF ONLY ...

The fat, p***y-grabbing, racist POS installed into the White House could be fired

14. If you have a D next to your name....

You get fired, arrested, investigated, or worse. If you have an R next to your name - no problem! It's a get out of jail free card! And you get bonus points if you pray for your redemption!
