It wouldn't have been inappropriate for Jimmy to be come an associate at the firm, as long as he wasn't reporting to Chuck.

What Jimmy should have done was to go get a job at a different firm, rather than try to set out on his own. I don't think they addressed that in the show, but it would have been a lot easier road for him if he would have got on at a different firm.
Not hiring a guy from an online law school to a silk-stocking law firm is most assuredly not '****ing him in the asshole'.

No large, prestigious firm in the country would have even let Jimmy in the door.

All Chuck did was act as a responsible steward for his partners and employees. Had Jimmy done exactly what you're suggesting he do: get on with a different firm, establish his bonafides, then go build a practice, he could easily have then gone out and hung his own shingle and come up with Sandpiper. At that point Chuck's analysis is almost certainly going to be different.

That's not what happened.
