The hand pat from Tom to Greg after Greg says thanks is such a small gesture but shows Tom's true character. He and Greg are outsiders who need to stick together. Their weird relationship was by far my favorite.

[@traupman84]

man, this company would be bankrupt really quick if all those people were making hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

[@ragingexodus]

Nikki's right. The issue with saying they're in an open relationship is Tom doesn't want to be. Shiv is scared of commitment so she's heavily pushing top to be okay with it

[@dtgstl3148]

I'm pretty sure there is no below-CEO level job in America within a corporate hierarchy (which excludes celebrities and athletes) that pays more than $100M per year. There are only nine CEOs in America that make >$100M per year. Tim Cook, the CEO of the world's most valuable company (Apple) made $63M for FY 2023. The C-suite people at Waystar Royco are probably pulling very low 7 figure incomes (with lots of stock options), and the people just below them (ie division heads) are making high 6 figures. These people are all extremely wealthy, but I'm pretty sure the only actual billionaires in that room in Hungary were Logan, Kendall, and Roman Roy.

[@Serryy]

Roman is much more in the professional world than Shiv. He has a high ranking role in the company. Shiv was a political advisor, she never had any job at Waystar

The actor who plays Greg is 6'7" btw. Makes his scenes with Tom even funnier since Matthew Macfadyen is 6'3" himself but looks tiny compared to greg

[@leahmarie112]

Where did 100 million come from guys? Logan’s henchmen are probably making ten’s of millions rather than hundreds of millions, if that. The business and the empire is worth billions but it’s all going to Logan. The reason why people like Frank and Gerry lick the floor for Logan is because they are probably living well beyond their means and NEED their salary to keep up. None of them are sitting on a pile of hundreds of millions. Logan knows how to keep his people begging for more and that’s kind of the point of the whole episode.

[@Marta-uv4id]

We've seen it before, but Logan truly unleashes what complete a narcissist he is in this episode. He controls the room at any given point in time, to the point people are willing to strip themselves of their humanity just to appease him. Brian Cox also plays him so menacingly that you feel genuienly terrified to watch him, like he'll scream at you next. This episode and the next are probably my favorites of the season.

[@jeffwilliams2828]

Y’all are waaaay overestimating corporate pay. The only person who might get paid $100 million a year is Logan, CEO.

[@jackevans6200]

Fun fact: the dinner scene and 'Boar on the Floor' was partly inspired by the party 'games' of Stalin. He'd get all the politburo plastered and hope that one of them would be drunk enough to make a dangerous or compromising remark on his leadership, leading to their arrest and execution.

[@trixiebell25]

I don't think anybody at the company is making hundreds of millions of dollars a year other than Logan since he owns the company. Their personal salaries are probably a couple million a year depending on their position. Karolina makes 1 million a year and she's the head of communications. Gerri, Karl, Frank, Tom, Roman, and Kendall probably make a couple million a year because they're part of the executive branch. The other people there at the retreat were the divisional heads (Ray, Cyd, etc.), so they probably make high 6-figure salaries at most. None of them need to take Logan's abuse, but they do it for the money because he pays them well and honestly most of them are used to it by now.

Cyd ain't shit for offering sausage to Tom the next morning 😂

[@rini6]

James Cromwell, who plays uncle Ewan, is an animal rights/vegan activist and environmentalist.

[@user-dx2dm8oq8g]

I remember the Boar on the floor episode, for me it really cemented succession as a classic show. That and Roman ripping the check in front of that kid in the first episode. It was unreal and unhinged, it truly showed how those people sold their soul, went along with everything Logan requested and feared him. It looked like a cult. Logan acts like he wants honest people who can question him, but he'll eventually crush them because that's who he is, he can't help it and they all know it. Some of these people have known him for decades so it's telling that they're all scared.

[@ezthehagg]

This ep really let’s you get a glimpse of the childhood Logan’s kids had to deal with and the psychological manipulation and power imbalance he had above his kids the same on his workers/team. Specifically the game “dog pound” with Kendall and Roman. You sorta see that too when they start fighting over Romans phone right after they played boar on the floor.

[@vickster5001]

This was the first episode that truly left me open mouthed as I watched it. Logan's humiliating tactics were so awful to watch! Boar on the Floor became the catch phrase for people watching the show back then. None of them earn 100 million. At best Karl might me on 2m tops I'd guess. So would you do it for that much?! Also, Roman has "worked" in the company longer than Shiv. We learned in ep 1 that he worked under Frank in LA on the film side of the company. Clearly Kendall is the only one with real experience and Shiv does have a proper career unlike Roman, but she is still the one with the least exposure to the inner workings of the business.
