From HBO's Silicon Valley
Getting paid $20 million to not do anything.
Becoming a professor at Stanford.
Then becoming the President of Stanford.
He's the most successful person on the show.
For a guy who was said to be "as useless as the ending of Mass Effect 3", he sure rose up in the ranks.
That's how it worked, at my last work place, you either got promoted with your bust size, how well you sucked or the less you did but was clever about not doing it.
i think you mean stamford
Talk about failing upwards
And the real president of Stanford just got fired for being a sham. Life imitates art.
The accuracy of the HR guy being promoted over the timeline is 💯
How can you tell the HR guy was promoted? It looks like he has the same job in every scene.
@@jazzymichael cause managing low lvl employees and co-head dreamer employees indicates a shift in the HR guys duties. Also we assume the HR guy moved to a newer office (idk why exactly but it just how it feels watching the episode/show)
lmfao
I had a friend like him, he barely graduated engineering, failed all the recruitment drives our university had setup. Took a job in a small startup company because he could speak English and was confident, became a manger within few months, VP in few years and then the company got acquired by Honeywell and he made millions.
which country is this
sounds like america@@erencanaslan7989
@@erencanaslan7989 Sounds like India, or another SEA country.

I know someone that was average and he ended up rising to the top. They're a large company now in SD. He would need a severance like Bighead.
Retrospectively this is even funnier because at Hooli they indeed DID NOT have a contract. The Pied Piper lawsuit showed that they were all invalid.
Only half of the contracts were invalid
The HR guy gives one of my favorite acting performances on the show.
Yeah, and also the doctor 😆
His acting is cringe
…at this time
FACTS @@theokaralenka and facts the doctor too he's hilarious
Still though i think we can all agree.... gavin belson favorite acting performances on the show
It's nice how he considered declining 2 million dollars because of his friends there
2? No, it's uh, 20 million
Looks like he hit his “how much are my friends worth?” number
Almost everyone has a number
It’s just usually quite low
@@ChrisAthanas "Friendship to me means that for 2 bucks; I'd beat you with a pool cue till you got detached retinas."
Quite low indeed.
@@ChrisAthanas For $20 million I never heard of anyone in my life.
@@aluisious and that's why we are living in the decline of empire and likely have to fight each other about it soon
Must've been a martyred saint in his past life
This is the realest comment lol
"Officially you will no longer have any friends here" 😅
Believe it or not, for big corporations it's sometimes easier to keep paying someone for nothing or bull$hit work, than to fire him.
In Europe
Breach of contract or fired for undue cause. It’s cost more legally then just pay it out and let this person stay. The legal system and Lawyers are so expensive
tech companies like to "warehouse" employees even if theyre not productive so their competitors won't poach those people.
Not the case in the US
I think that’s what my kids are trying to do for a career.
Even though Big Head is inept, he's probably the most decent person in the show. I love that he falls over ass-backward into success
he intends no harm toward others but mostly he is a non-entity
I would only hope to have a friend like this.
Good natured, good heart, down to chill.
I don’t care if he is smart, intelligent, or well off.
Perfect level of ahm... involvement. His face when his says that is just brilliant xD
Love the callback to "In perpetuity, throughout the universe" when Gavin tried to get Jian Yang to sign over his operation!
The HR dude being named Gary Irving is an excellent detail. I feel like that’s a extremely HR name.
I have literally never met a man in HR. Four different companies.
@@aluisious hi
I knew a Gary who worked HR
He's no Toby Flenderson though
Its funny the only guy I ever saw working in HR was named Gary.
This show beautifully casted these side small roles and it makes a huge impact
The writers really played fast and loose with BigHead's intelligence over the years.
Kinda how it’s done in real life tech world tho
The dumber he got the more successful he got
Failing up@@cpdf1764
The implication in the end was that he had dementia. Funny and tragic, all rolled into one
@@ChrisAthanashow do I get involved lol
This HR person is doing way too much work. Most HR people do much, much less work than this Mr. Irving.
Most in Canada are female, and the wives/etc. of big managment.
HR people are extremely busy in most companies. I know they are not liked and they drove me crazy so many times but no need to say something wrong. they have to deal with trivial stuff but there is a lot of these stuff. In general you are lucky if you can find one HR guy to do face to face nowadays. Everything happens through ticket systems. They are like IT at this point and IT people are busy too.
HR are not your friends@@cmfrtblynmb02
these 2 deserve a spin-off show
Happens all the time with likable people in big companies who aren’t great at their jobs but never rock the boat. They keep failing upwards and going with the flow 😂
I had a friend who used to stumble backwards into stuff that was epic. I was just glad he took most of us along for the ride.
This is actually an intro to the Sam Bankman-Fried documentary, except lil different ending ...
"Officially you will no longer have any friends here."
This guy is the most underrated character on the show. Hilarious
I so miss this show!
This shit does happen in life. Seen people fail upward often.
Yeah. Bad news though: its actually an incredibly valuable skill that resentful people like to shit on. Not saying you are doing that but...its kind of weird....someone fails and gets an opportunity to level up then people act like theyre supposed to turn it down and then walk into the woods and off themselves or soemthing...dont get it.
@@saucyrossy3698You sound like you've failed upward a lot.
But I'm pretty sure when people complain about this, they're not blaming the person, they're blaming the people above who make it happen. No one expects someone to turn down any money, but they do expect the company to reward good work instead of bad.
@@saucyrossy3698 people are raised to believe that rewards are based on merit, while they understand that its only partially true it makes sense for them to be frustrated when confronted with success that is uncorrelated to merit
God i love this show 🤣 that first scene is just pure gold.
Big head is the epitome of failing upward
A golden retriever has to make it onto everyones office wall
I would love to be in BigHead's position.
This man finessed the whole tech industry and the academia.
HR guy keeps changing offices and desks too.
Bighead didn't know his severance changed when he got promoted to a higher level. The 3 year contract had a severance of 2 million, but his current promoted job as it's supposed to be more impactful, had an actual severance of 20 million (because they wouldn't generally fire these kind of people, they are those who quit on their own most of the time to move somewhere else or just to not lose face)
he just probably didn't count the zeroes in the cheque correctly
@@tabakhiin There's no way anyone in his previous rank would get a severance higher than 2mil, it's unrealistic even in real life, so it's safe to say the severance was upped when his contract got updated after the promotion.
Bighead is The most successful person in the Valley 😂
I wish I could fail upward as hard as Big Head.
0:49 is this a reference to the illegal contracts of hooli
Maybe he, like the judge noticed the problem in the contracts but was too scared to say anything
This show encapsulates the biggest problem of American Capitalism "failing upward" there are so many people in American companies that are in key decision making roles because they kept their head down, stayed quiet and were the perfect combination of unambitious and useful.
There is SO much money in tech, it’s all totally plausible
Big Head is awesome!
Thanks
Big head falling upwards unknowingly !
I liked this version of BigHead before they dumbed him out and made the character completely unbelievable
Doing nothing is such an important and hard job that he definitely needs an assistant.
20 million... blink.
It's a shame he didn't revisit nipalert as a co-dreamer.
20 million, Hooli who?
-- What am I going to do?
-- That is unclear.
What does he mean unclear? Someone has to play all those billiards and such, use massage seats, etc. People who actually work don't have time for that.
He Fails Upwards. People Love him.
Rest and VEST !!!!
"HR works"
lol
where do i find a company like that
I don’t think you can find something like this by looking. You pretty much have to fall into it.
I’d say the closest thing would be a large company.
Large companies tend to have many layers and rungs of work.
Government
Google, Amazon, apple, meta,
@@avengemybreath3084 too bad. they wont hire me.
Gimme f*king $20 million dollars and I would happily eat that vegan meal for that, for a day.
HR guy somewhat looks and sounds like Pete Buttigieg.
dream job.... it too sad why im isnt stoopid like bighead
HR guys makes me nervous
Why doesn't thishappen to me? Why don't I get paid to do fuck all?
I’m getting Pete Buttigieg vibes from HR
Wow so I guess thats why there is a rush among indians for h1b visas as I am pretty sure that all the mbas /management guys in indian IT ensure that no one can make more then tgem forget about the mills.
Would of been nice if they wrote he hung out with his friends after work.
HR guy reminds me of Pete Buttigieg.
Sign me up!
damn i wish someone thows money at me. i would have create something
What about a kickass potato cannon?
Strippers get money thrown at them.
he failed his way to success 🎉
They do this at Microsoft. This is why Windows and Azure is turning into shit.
Lol
a weissman score of 5.2 is pretty useless if you don't tell us what the reference algorithm is. also, wtf is the point of good encoding if youtube's gonna trash it anyway?
Were you expecting that they would come up with an actual groundbreaking invention so that they can use to shoot this show? 😂
@@irfanhekimoglu2294 When did i talk about the show? I'm not talking about whatever sitcoms they're using to showcase the grading system, i am talking about the point of this channel itself.
wtf?
It's a shame how dumb Bighead gets over the show.
Jewish surname on HR guy is accurate.
HR Guy should be woman
He's trying his best to be.
Imagine being "fired" from a position but still being under contract, literally being payed for doing nothing. The dream
That's how people are "fired" in Japan
الحولي والمقابل 😎
Sounds like most Big Tech nowadays -- shit like EDI - total bullshit for big pay.
