Don isn't being brutal at all. He keeps signalling Pete to stop, and the signals go right over Pete's head. First, he apologizes for Pete's bad manners in front of them both. Pete doesn't get the message. "The future Mrs. Pete Campbell is a very lucky woman." An appeal to morality. Again, Pete doesn't understand the point Don is making. "I bet the whole world looks like one big brassiere strap waiting to be snapped." Now he's straight-up calling Pete immature, and again Pete doesn't understand or care. Pete missed three VERY strong hints from Don, so Don gave up on subtlety and laid it out very directly. Don just discovered the hard way that Pete doesn't care about rules of etiquette, right and wrong, or acting mature, so instead he focuses on the one thing Pete does seem to care about: money and advancement. Hints hadn't worked, so Don made it so crystal clear that even Pete could get the message. BTW, if you think this is brutal, you haven't experienced brutal yet. Even at the very end, Don was still measured and firm. He could have delivered a _much_ more aggressive dressing-down. I've gotten and given some of those talks myself. Sadly, in the era of HR, these days you're better off writing someone up and permanently damaging their career, rather than giving them a chance to clean up their act. Managers are slowly turning from coaches into lawyers.

Great point. I also like how direct it is. A lot of people tip toe when they give advice or critique a person. It gives that person the opportunity to create a defense for themselves in their minds. Here Don was direct and didn't pull any punches and Pete was taken completely aback, no time to make an excuse, just took it and let it sink in. You could tell it stung and stuck with him. Sure when he leaves he initially is spiteful, like many of us would be. But the desire to be spiteful is just an example of how impactful this type of moment can be. There is no forgetting it, no excuses, no ability to wipe it a way or brush it off. Instead your left with one option and that's what you do with it going forward.

I think Don's instincts about Peggy were right on that first day. She had something and it wasn't to be wasted on a weasel like Pete Campbell. And sure enough, Peggy went on to have a great career (and save Don's ass many times along the way). Just a reminder to always be considerate of good people, especially on their first day.

The table full of guys across from us gave her grief about being slow and mixing up their order.

I like how Peggy's character journey started right here with being a combination of helpful, but willing to say what was on her mind despite it being her first day. She has a lot of ups and downs, but these two traits really do help define her right out of the gate. And Don respecting what she said instead of humoring Pete also is the start of his relationship with Peggy, which establishes a nice thread for a good chuck of the series: it doesn't matter that Peggy's a woman; she's helpful, creative, and willing to stand up for herself while supporting Don, and that counts for a lot with Don.

In this scene, you see don doesn’t care if Pete one day gets his job; he tells him something honest that will make him more successful. Draper finds Pete annoying, but he tries to help him and mentor him from the start.

But besides the loving relationship with her son, her personal life never really grows. She doesn't seem to have friends, her relationship with her mother is 😬, she leaves her horrible husband and replaces him eventually with more work, just work. She seems to have wanted to be a wife and mother, yet her life ends up almost totally being about her career. It is a great, entertaining story. But Don, Pete, and Peggy, (even Roger) all eventually got what they wanted AND needed. They all grew into that life. Joan got a lot, but was it what she really wanted or really needed? Did Joan really change and grow, or just adapt well to disappointment after disappointment? The other four, I feel went on to happy, fulfilling lives. I think Joan went on to be never quite fulfilled with her personal life. Always seeming to get close but never quite grabbing the life meant for her. 😔

@@dogkungfu8510 I don't disagree with your assessment on her character arc really except in one point - some people decide that's what they need to do/have whether it's what they really want or not, and also I think Joan grows much bolder & much kinder through the series - much more willing to do what needs to be done rather than let life happen to her.

It’s strange how we can have such an admiration for Don when as the show progresses we find out how egoistic, arrogant, and weak he really is…he just has a good way of hiding it. The way he pretends to have it all together is intriguing and attractive, maybe because we all dislike ourselves a little and wish we could at least pretend to be as cool as Don.

Pete's fate? Pete has one of the better arcs of the show. He starts out as slime, but over time actually starts to become a semi decent guy.

This is what Pete needed the most. He didn't respect or like his father, but he admired Don, so all these reality checks from the man were essential for Pete to build some character as early as S2; S1 Pete was basically a child.

Hamm SHOULD be Batman. He even looks like Bruce Wayne from Bob Kane's drawings.

People saying Don was brutal...that was frank honesty and sound advice.

Don at his best. Sure, he didn't always practice what he preached, but that was some solid mentorship.

I'm a grandfather now and my father many many years ago was picking me up when I was about 13 or 14 from my job. We were stopped at a light and a hot girl was walking the cross walk. I said out loud without thinking were I was and who I was with something profane about the girl...and she heard me..... The quick back hand to my mouth that I received was so painful it cut my lip I cried immediately....Totally humiliation. My father didn't talk until that long long car ride home. As my dad was pushing the garage door down. I never forgot it....He just said what if someone treated you mom like that or your sisters how would you feel....I said I would feel bad.....He immediately said well then your a coward a man would be angry and teach him manners regardless of whether he would win the fight or get arrested......You will be always be judged by how you treat others in your life especially women.....women want to feel safe and secure around you. Hopefully you learn that or you will be alone for the rest of your life. Honestly He never picked me up from any of my jobs ever again.....I took the bus or my bike.....Strange how this seen was a flash of that exact moment when I was young. I'm old now and my grandchildren both are girls keep saying" I'm old school". Opening doors for them and basically being the man I think my late father would be proud of. I don't know now if it's ok now a days to be protective especially if I would certainly die protecting the people I love...I still think it's better then being someone with no self respect for themselves or anyone else.....

Pete is far from perfect at the end of the series, but for the first time in his life he has his priorites set correctly. He truly values the relationships in his life and is doing the work to keep them going. And Trudy finally has the husband she deserves. Pete is finally good at being an adult AND has Trudy being Trudy to keep him in line. I like to think the Campbells remain happily married til death, with bumps in the road of course.

This to me was a great way to set the tone between Don and Pete. Don was the senior. He was wise and understood that you can't grow a reputation like Pete is cultivating in a work place because believe it or not those women he's insulting really were the ones who ran the place. They set the appointments, they covered for dudes doing shady shit. They had all the real power really. These women could ruin marriages with the shit they've seen/ heard/ help cover. And you want them to like you and be on their side. Especially peggie because she had potential that she grew to realize. Like you have to be aware of what you are saying and who you are saying it to. Pete was always a smaller picture kind of guy. Don was telling like dude use your big brain power. I liked how son was basically like don't be a scumbag. Because down the line it will only hurt you.

In those days, cracking open adoption records was a VERY difficult process. Pete would probably have had that meeting in the 80s or 90s, near retirement, and it probably wouldn't have affected him very much. I don't think he had enough empathy or sense of personal responsibility that his conscience would be bothered. For a long list of reasons, Pete probably got a fairly successful life and more or less escaped the consequences of his being Pete Campbell.
