Steffy's motive for firing Hope? (General)

Steffy let Hope keep the line only to be able to blackmail her with it.
Now that the line is gone she will find other ways to hurt Hope. Hurting Hope is Steffy's hobby. She loves to do it.

No. Her line was failing. She should have already been canned.

That is not why Steffy fired her. Steffy has even admitted that she fired Hope for personal reasons.

No. Her line was failing. She should have already been canned.

The ONLY reason Steffy gave for firing Hope was because Hope was “warned” to stay away from Finn and she crossed the line. That is IT. So no, it wasn’t that her line was failing. Little miss perfect Steffy herself has said it numerous times. Even admitted it was personal.

No her line was not failing when Steffy fired her. It had not even been launched yet to know if it had failed. They were going by projections on what the line may make in the future. The projected numbers did not look good because of several factors.

Even without Carter redoing the numbers, the projections were rising. People who do not understand what projections are think the line was losing money. The numbers were based on interest polls, not on whether the line was making or losing money. It is sort of like the "Future's market". People use projections based on market conditions to speculate how a commodity will do in the future.

Right after a huge money making collection, Thomas up and left the company. The buyers were not showing interest in the collection because they were unsure of who the designer would be and if the collection would be up to the same standards. Buyers also look at a consumers willingness to buy something based on their buying power. If unemployment and interest rates are high, then money flow is tight. The economy itself plays a huge role in figuring out projections. All it would take would be a decrease in interest rates for projections to look better.

Add to that Steffy was not interested in promoting the line. I am pretty sure that she was sabotaging the line when she spoke with the buyers and that is why they were not sure. She was not even interested in promoting BB relaunch, If it was up to her that line would have stayed in the basement.

Just trying to make sure I understood it well. I live outside of the US so I don't have access to all the full episodes yet. I only see partial episodes and recaps, so maybe I misunderstood.
Steffy only fired Hope because of that silly misunderstanding with Finn when she walked in on them falling on the desk? Or did I miss something else justifying this sacking? I don't like Hope with Carter (still want her back with Thomas) but technically she isn't doing anything bad. They are single, this not Steffy's business.

Did it ever cross Steffy or Finn's mind that maybe Hope is seeing another guy? Are they really this self-absorbed and narcissistic to think Hope was wearing lingerie to seduce Finn? Steffy is worse than I suspected if she still thinks Hope is after her husband... She thinks so because Hope admitted she had a crush on him after Thomas left her and because of a drunken kiss? I guess it helps her sleep better at night to assume the whole world revolves around her and that Hope must want her husband at all cost. Finn is just as self-centered and self-absorbed if he is going along with Steffy's reasoning and condones abusive firings. She can keep her lapdog on a leash, nobody wants him. Nobody else wants her either, apparently even Liam has moved on.

Since when is sleeping with a boyfriend in a design office a valid motive for dismissal? Every employees (starting with Ridge) would be jobless if it was true. And then EVEN IF Hope was wearing this lingerie in order to try to seduce Finn, it still makes Steffy a bleak hypocrite. She didn't only kiss Hope's husband. She flat out slept with him on Finn's couch, belived she was carrying his baby and told him she will love him for the rest of her life. Before that, she spent years throwing herself at Liam when he was with Hope or Ivy. What consequence she did suffer? When is she going to pay for the cruel role she played in Thomas and Hope's breakup? A single drunk Hope kissing Finn once is trivial in comparison. If Hope deserves to lose her line and her job, Steffy deserves an unreturnable life long ban from the every FC offices.

Aside from that her line flopped

Which was because the CEO encouraged the head designer to up and leave without notice or trying to get another good designer. That really lacks in being a good CEO. No one would never let that happen. It isn’t that Hope flopped, it is letting the designer go before finding a good replacement that cause HFTF flop. In other words the CEO

That is NOT why Steffy fired Hope, though. Not one bit of why. It was all about Finn and all personal, even little miss perfect Steffy herself admitted it.

But the line did not flop.... Ridge and Carter admitted the numbers were coming back up. They were not coming back up quick enough for Ridge. The problem was his evil princess (who a couple months back needed a babysitter) would not promote the line. Carter told them (before he revealed to Hope) that he redid the numbers and with proper promotion the line could be saved. People think that Carter wanting to do his own thing with the company was how he would save the company. However, he mentioned cross promoting it with BB and that would create buzz and get the buyers buying... They all admitted that Zende's collection was great.

Flopping was California Freedom, Steffy's ski line, and Steffy's lingerie line And Taylor and Stephanie's Granny Panty line.

Because the little tyrant Steffy runs the clown show at FC..even the patriarch Eric who started this family business is afraid of her..so pathetic! He was not at all happy with her impulsive firing, yet he won't end her reign of terror by putting his foot down and told that little tyrant that he has the final say. She fired Hope because of her stupid assumption..had nothing to do with the line. She even admitted that it was personal. Steffy and her reign of terror need to go! So sick of this nasty bully never face consequences of her evil deeds.

She should’ve been gone before the sex in office thing her line allways needs a hero

Exactly … seems its now o.k to plan coos kiss bosses hubbie and sex on desks

Her Motive? Because she couldn't trust that woman a bit!
At what job is it okay for you to make a pass at your boss's husband? At what job is it okay to sashay around the office in lingerie trying to seduce a coworker? Especially when your line is royally failing and this same boss gave you a merciful extension? And have we forgotten how Hope repeatedly said Steffie needs to be taken down a notch or two? Were Hope's actions not very personal against Steffy?
You have someone working for you that you can't trust. And Hope wasn't even making any money for the company. That girl needed to go and should have been fired a long time ago!
