Cooper had his appendectomy in August 2008 and, according to Stuart, they could have promoted him in 2011-ish. So the promotion wouldn’t have helped him in that situation.
I remember when I first read this and wondered what Josh’s goal was. Cooper would be mad at Stuart and Grumbel’s in general, but this wouldn’t affect how he worked with Marla, Val, or the others. Now, if Josh was planning to murder Stuart and needed a patsy, this would have been goin somewhere, but otherwise…
Didn’t Cooper have the appendectomy before Josh was hired? If so, he got this information from Stuart. But Carla is right, he wouldn’t have been promoted before he needed that surgery. I wondered myself what Cooper may have done with that money if he hadn’t had to blow it all on the bill. Maybe gotten himself a decent car? And banked the rest. That’s what I’d have done. He may not have had to wear himself out working a second job when his hours were cut at Grumbels. He could’ve lived very frugally until the hours picked up again.
Ok, now I REALLY hate Josh. He’s gone from being an annoyance to being just down right petty and cruel.
Unlike with Stuart, I can’t say I’ve ever once seen Josh being nice. Ergo, it’s best he isn’t acknowledged.

Here we saee the difference with Brad. Brad isn’t a great guy, but he won’t go out of his way to be a jerk
I’m assuming Brad is an upcoming character, then?
This would’ve been a good time for Josh to get an impromptu appendectomy with a box-cutter. Just saying.

Getting Cooper to quit, probably.
Or lash out in anger in a way that would get him fired.

Who’s Carla?
Shiva H Vishnu, Josh is not just a corporate stooge like Stuart, he’s also an arrogant, cruel, insensitive jerk. Oh wait, he’s just like Stuart.
