Don’t be confused, though, because all these alliances are sure to change in the finale, but here’s the current gist: Alliance 1 and Alliance 4 have the most power, but Alliance 2 and Alliance 3 have the most support, both internally and externally, with the public on their side. During this #MeToo and Time’s Up era, the masses want to help suck the venom out of powerful companies, and getting rid of Fred would do just that. The issue is that Fred’s plan is to pin all the blame on Chip. He makes a perfect scapegoat, and Fred’s already lined up a replacement for him. Plus, Chip’s exhausted. He loves his job, and has been doing it well for decades, but he literally sleeps on the dirty floor of his office. He just might take whatever secret buy-out I bet Fred offers him to just go away quietly. That scenario was also hinted at in episode 2 , when Mitch warned that Chip and all the other normal guy schmucks like him are next to be accused. (I hate to quote his totally off-base rant, but it did feel like a bit of foreshadowing).
