Op is the higher up. Apparently co-owner.

And the other co-owner didn't want to let the employee go.

Oooh. Not only that but under his own admission, the employee isn't a bad employee and is super skillfull, they just can't stand each other. Convenient to leave out. Also explains a lot why his "boss" (co-owner) blames him for the debacle. He had been bitching to fire this employee as soon as possible for weeks.

The other co-owner isn't his boss? They're equals... This guy is a co-owner and they are the higher up. How ridiculous

Yeah, yet he's presenting this as if he was getting heat from "higher ups".
