    The reasons why Homer haven’t been fired or Disciplined are:
    1. Co-workers know he’s an idiot but they just ignore him because he’s not bothering them, like Carl says: “it’s best not to think about it”
    2. Mr. Burns can’t seem to remember him, he even forgets his name and everytime Homer gets noticed he always ask Smithers who is he only to forget 5 minutes later.
    3. Smithers could say/do something but his only interest is doing mr. Burns bidding. If Burns dosent pay attention to Homer neither would he.
    4. There’s an episode where Burns told Homer that he’ll work here FOREVER as punishment

      That’s where he goes wrong. You can call Homer a lot of things, but he’s definitely not pretentious. He’s the genuine item. I actually believe that Grimes is the anti-Homer. Think about it, Homer’s child like demeanour and his carefree nature is one side of a coin to a polar opposite version of himself: that of the type A, hardworking, underachieving Grimes. In the end, Grimes hates Homer for the wrong reasons, and he gets so obsessed by it that it spells his end.

    "Has he been fired? No! Has he been disciplined? Oh, no!" Perhaps I can answer that. There is an earlier episode where the family was reminiscing on when baby Maggie was born and before Marge was pregnant with Maggie, Homer quit his job at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant just to pursue his dream job at the bowling alley. When Marge announced that she was pregnant, however, Homer had to leave his dream job at the bowling alley and return to his old job at the power plant, where Mr. Burns told him that he would be working there forever as punishment for his desertion.

    Frank is right that Homer shouldn’t be inspector. But the problem with him is that everything he does to Homer is out of spite when Homer is just trying to be nice to him. It’s ok to be jealous and not like people for whatever reason, but it’s not ok to be a jerk to them just for that when they have never done anything to you (I know that part with the acid, but my argument still stands).

      The problem is that if this scenario were real having Homer in that job would literally be putting potentially hundreds of thousands of lives in harm's way.

      He always came across to me as stuck up and with an entitled martyr complex. It's like he's constantly thinking "How dare anyone have a better life than me, they all need to suffer too because misery builds character".

      Yes, it was wrong of Homer to steal his lunch and destroy his pencils. Frank has every right to be mad at Homer for that. However, Frank is way too focused on Homer instead of focusing on himself and trying to make things better for himself. Even after Homer did try to befriend Frank and become a better worker for him, Frank never bothered giving him a chance.
      So Frank is not completely in the right for hating Homer.

      He then needed to quit his job at the Power Plant and leave Springfield USA (ala Ray Patterson), but *maybe* compared to him he didn't have a second job that paid well. So he instead lost his mind and life trying to change the SNPP into something he could not. You will *only* survive failing to get out of Springfield by learning to live-and-accept the plot dynamics and armour (e.g. everything evolves around Homer Jay Simpson, may as well sing "Smile, Darn Ya, Smile").

Frank Grimes was a "realistic" take on a man trying to force his perspective on the "fictional" Homer Simpson who had comparatively little exposure to consequences in the wonderland version of Springfield even FRANK was living in.

    So much satire (that is, according to my own description: good and right things are seen or simply thought of as bad and wrong and bad things are thought of as right and good things) as well as laughter, emotion and sadness, that's what The Simpsons are.
    The Homer's Enemy episode contains, in addition to the work differences affecting Homer and Frank's everyday life, another bright lesson: The Simpsons universe is not a suitable and comfortable place for us real people, the people of this world, to live, be well and be happy or in general what is most important in life (unless there is someone a cruel criminal, a murderer or some other abuser) there in schools, especially among children or especially among school bullies, there are their own rules, workplace bosses do not care about the safety of their employees, and almost all the people in that world are all jerks, scumbags, adding some incomprehensible slurs to their sentences, strange fools and crazy people (and sometimes they are even aware of it and are proud of it or else they just have a "that's just the way it goes" attitude) and you never know who you can trust and who you can't (because sometimes someone seems friendly but is really evil and someone else seems like a jerk, but it's really nice) and that's why everything is sometimes so awkward and confusing that almost anyone might feel betrayed, go crazy, like Frank came at the end of this episode and it was bad for him that it happened to him.
    It also raises the question that if the inhabitants of the Simpsons universe came here for a while (that they should live here for a while so that they have to go to work, find temporary apartments and everything before returning home), would they enjoy themselves here at all?
    Different rules apply here, things are taken in a better and more serious way, and the behavior known by their nature is not tolerated here because this is not a cartoon world where you can do whatever you want, whenever and wherever you want.
    This is a reality where we try to take good care of each other and our society in order to survive (but so that it is not, at least all the time, everywhere a hard fight) and to be happy and enjoy it, so unlike in the world of the Simpsons, this is what we do to ourselves and for each other, so unlike among those yellow-skinned people, it's no joke.
    I don't think they would be comfortable here at all, any more than we certainly wouldn't be with them. They would certainly think of us like this: "Absolutely horrible people, fair skin, no overbite and five fingers and toes on hands and feet and a really terrible personality. "Don't do that, don't do this!" Real troublemakers all over!"
    I think that Lisa would be the only one who would feel at home with us because here we take more seriously the things that she takes care of almost all the time and we work on them so that things get even better, even better.
    Am I right about all this? Let me know what you think about this!
