Thats his way of hedging his bets.

To put it not-so-gently, hes like dysentery for the stock price.
A CEO should never compare his company to the Titanic.
But, of course, hes in the process of steering Waystar into the iceberg himself.

In the face of mass disrespect, such obsequious pandering goes a long way.
And pushing every word out is agonizing labor.
Kendalls days as a pretend big shot are over.

For Roman, being COO involves the vigorous exercise of his mouth while his body is being stretched out.
Like Kendall, he wants to impress everyone with his new position.
