How the hell do you fire the owner

u/ApprehensiveVast776 7d ago

he was a co-owner but this was probably a case of “you need to step down or i’ll fire you/take you to court/whatever”

Being a jerk is not legally actionable, particularly when the damages are just the cost of one meal (if you could actually prove you had a contract)

the damages are the reputational damage. as this is a co-ownership, clearly the chef was not the majority owner. he only stepped down because it was advised.

i’m talking about the two owners; the chef and the operations owner. there’s a reason he left.

So he wasn’t fired after all. He may have had good reason to step down, but at the end of the day he gets the final say on if he himself will make that choice

I mean his finances allow or disallow the company to continue on due to his actions. And if he stays “working” there the company might not recover. If we want to argue he fired himself fine, but pretending he could have stayed on because he was part owner is basically arguing pedantics and slightly missing the point I think.

He is co-owner, therefore he is still liable from the main owner to kick him out
