re: Silicon Valley Season 5 Discussion - Spoilers

Why did Richard have to keep all the developers after buying the two companies?

I know when he was trying to get the emoji company it was part of the deal, but that was because he didn't have leverage. He had all the leverage when dealing with Sliceline.

I didn't get that either. People get fired all the time when they work for a company that gets bought out.

ETA: Also, it is pretty evident how this will end for Richard. He's going to run out of money and get bought out because he's going to keep over spending due to dumb, simple shite that could have been avoided. You can see how it is already being set up.

1. Over spending on the office space
2. Spending 19k on pizza
3. Over spending on 50 engineers


Just three in the first episode. He's going to frick this up badly
