Rumors About His Company[]
After the employee training tape hosted by the now ex-tech consultant Ryder Page was released to the public, rumors arose about Ryder being forced into filming the tape, the robots made by PSTM&M being evil, and even Ryder being turned into a robot. Benjamin, an employee, informs Mudson of this and suggests taking Ryder to court, or asking him to take back what he said. Mudson decides on making a response video debunking these rumors, despite Benjamin telling him responses aren't usually taken well in situations like this. He asks Benjamin to show him the tape, then get the staff to prepare all the equipment to film the response video. So Mudson gathered employees to help with filming, An employee named Harry is seen recording the moment and being reluctant about doing it saying who would watch 30 minutes approximately of a response video which angers Mudson and reminds Harry that it’s his company so things have to be done his way. Harry, seemingly tired of Mudson reluctantly agrees as Mudson threatened to fire him. So Harry tells Mudson that a CEO needs to defend his company in situations like those and if the company is truly as clean as Mudson says it is, he should let people do the talking for him, so Mudson reluctantly and mockingly agrees but if his way doesn’t work first, Harry would become the director, which ends up happening.
In the response video, Protection Services Through Mechanics & Machines interviews several people about their experience with the company. The first interview in the video is Mr. P, a millionaire who states that he thinks the company has their vision set on what's best for the country and their business, and that they're great. They then show an interview with Ellie Ermine, an investor who encourages people to keep supporting PSTM&M and buying their products. The last interview shown in the video is with Dr. Fyodor Delvilchi, a scientist who praises the company and states that the rumors spread about them are disappointing. At the end of the video, Mudson says that he hopes this video has opened the people's eyes to see what PSTM&M "truly is and what they truly strive for". He wishes Ryder the best on his future endeavors and states that their vision of success is stronger than others' vision of their failure, before saying goodbye to the viewers. Harry is later seen editing the footage on a computer, though angered against Mudson, he decides to not remove a piece of footage clicking on it.
After the video was done, Mudson was angered that Harry didn’t remove one piece of footage in editing. Harry tried to excuse himself saying it was an accident trying to make Mudson believe him but since Mudson didn’t believe him at all and it only cause for his situation to become worse with Mudson presumably throwing him on the ground against the wall, he then decides to tell the truth and tells Mudson he did it because “he deserved it”, then Mudson’s spouse Anna walks in surprising Mudson. She’s shocked at seeing this side of Mudson as she saw how Mudson had Harry up against the wall on the ground, Mudson tries to justify himself but she becomes angry against Mudson and cuts him off before telling Harry to come with her as they leave the room, leaving Mudson alone in the room frustrated as he slammed the door shut.
Personality[]
Mudson is shown to be a prepotent, demanding boss for those around him, giving he’s the CEO and seems to have a short temper, getting angry easily as seen with Harry threatening to fire him, he even ended up abusing Harry trying to intimidate him showing that he’s abusive and has no control over himself going over limits. It’s reflected on how his spouse, Anna reacted to his actions, horrified she cut Mudson off and left with Harry leaving Mudson behind, frustrating him and even slamming the door. Despite this, he seems to be kind and sweet with those he deeply cares about, as shown with his spouse, possibly not wanting her to see this side of him. He’s very fond of his company doing anything to keep it up and always doing things his way and not liking anyone contradicting him.
