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.

Already been posted, but the ass****ing came from lying to him about it, if he'd have been upfront, Jimmy might have been pissed, but I think he'd have understood. But he lied about it like a little bitch.

Chuck saw a path of least resistance that, if he'd have just executed a little better, would have led to Jimmy being happier and likely with a princely sum of money in his pocket.
Sure, there may have been selfish motivations as well - afterall, who wants to crush their sibling? But there is also a very real benevolent justification for using Hamlin as the hatchet man.

The happiest Jimmy is probably one that gets treated with candor and respect from his brother. At least that's what would lead to the happiest Buehler445.
