I think that's because it's a reflection of the firm itself; it's not a major completely corporate law firm. Compared the punishments dealt between the two law firms; Kim who did nothing wrong received the much harsher punishment and she earned more capital at her respective place of employment since she worked there longer than Jimmy is at the new spot.


I do hear you though that Jimmy violated office politics, yet the place isn't completely corporate.
