Because that would be weird.
Hey look free candy at Unagi Con’s table.It looks like they could gobstoppers or maybe sprees.
Jim did railroad Lynn out of her position in a shitty way. She literally went out of her way to do a specific job at Unagi con. Take that job away and in a shitty way to boot, what loyalty does she have left, to Jim or Unagi con? Zilch. Jim should have realized that before taking action.
Garner didn’t “want out”.unless he told Lynn something off-screen. When Lynn first made the offer to jump ship Garner replied “why would I do that?”
So they’re 1-1 in my book.
What Jim did is far worse than Lynn “poaching” Garner, especially since she used no form of coercion, trickery, or underhanded tactics to win him over. He asked her for a reason and she gave one he was in full support of because he agreed that leaving a Nazi to run about the con was ludicrous.
Meanwhile, Jim was in the wrong from the get-go. He left his staff to deal with a problem he should have stepped up and done himself and when defied, he used childish, underhanded tactics.
I’m not saying Lynn is a faultless angel, but I’d hardly call her and Jim even.
