3) People root for the jobbers because they want to be different.
4) People root for the jobbers because they're tired of the other stuff going on in the company.


I don't actually believe #4 is real, but I'm sure some people will argue that it is.

Don't want to speak for the rest of the board, but that's at least my reasoning.
