People were so quick to say “oooh Jon hated Martin sooo much in s1! Haha what a stupid man, that’s your boyfriend! He has a crush on you!” But Jon was justified in his dislike.

He just got promoted to a job he frankly had no idea how to do. His predecessor left the place in a state worthy of despair, and he was trying hard to make sense of it. On top of that, he was unpleasantly reminded of his own paranormal encounter, from which he desperately wished to distance himself.

If I were trying so hard to do my job correctly, and i had a coworker who would straight up refuse to do his job sometimes because “it spooks him”, it would irritate me too. Jon was uncomfortable with the statements as well. He just didn’t show it.

He was incompetent, yeah, but it’s not like anyone was there to train him, plus him being unprepared benefitted Elias. He did his best. Martin just sat on his ass all day and made them tea sometimes
