Jack says he appreciates his honesty, but he’d like to put the setbacks behind him so that he can make adjustments and get Adam back into the swing of things.

Adam says he’s thought about it, and he doesn’t think things will change, so he has an announcement to make.
He says that he wants to thank them for everything, but his work didn’t measure up, so Jack can fire him, or he’ll resign. Either way, he’s leaving Jabot.
