No Caroline and Dan. No more orders.

My husband and I are so upset at the news that Carolyn and Dan were fired! Is this

ageism? They were our favorites. Why don't you fire the new ones? We bought so, so many things at QVC because of them. We love Carolyn's wonderful imagination and whimsy! We love Dan's sense of humor and fun! One of the reasons we loved QVC was because there were people who represented our age group. We have been excellent customers for years.My husband just said to cancel all our accounts. Do we do that by calling or online?

Why are Caroline and Dan gone? Who else? I don't understand why you keep hiring younger people if you are going to let the older ones go. Is this age discrimination? What other hosts are being let go? This is very disturbing. Caroline especially has such enthusiasm and kindness about her. QVC Corporate -

Why does everyone assume they were fired?

Especially Dan's post would make you lean that way.

He is hilarious.

I'm not assuming anything but Carolyn did post on Instagram this morning that she is no longer with QVC.....another former host left a reply stating " as someone who has gone thru this I know the pain "

It's sad we won't see another garden party with Carolyn. She's the only one with cred in plants and gardening. They've been trying to position Sandra as a gardener but it just doesn't work. Maybe they'll just get rid of plants.

Corporations can hire and fire at will. It's nothing personal. Employee's are not indispensable or owners. I'm sure Caroline and Dan will go on with their lives and do great.

I'veI left jobs and I've been fired. Something better always always comes along!

Maybe they received packages and couldn't refuse the offer.

These people are hosts on a TV shopping network, then are not firends are family. I cannot fathom the emotional attachments some people have to them. I used to watch and have not seen a broadcast tin more than two years.

Perhaps they think it because it is true.. 400 were let go. It is not hard to look it up. No warning either. Appaling. These remarks will be removed no doubt.

@ollie5 It's called common sense. The company announced the firing/laying off of 400 employees. These 2 were gone very abruptly. Think about it.

Re: No Caroline and Dan. No more orders.

ollie5 — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 19:32:39 GMT

Being laid off is not firing! There s a difference.

It just occurred to me that Carolyn must have been taken by surprise by this firing, because yesterday on Garden Party she announced that QVC was planning a one hour live-stream "pet show" in April and featuring Carolyn. She seemed very confident about it.

Dan's post left little doubt about his being surprised by his firing.

I'll be watching less and less; and if I'm not watching, I'm not buying. That's the way I shop on QVC.

Peabelly — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 19:46:07 GMT

Because it was announced yesterday that QVC let 400 employees go. Some on HSN too.

Dan was a favorite of mine and a great host compared with the newbies. What are they thinking.

Re: No Caroline and Dan. No more orders.

Krimpette — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 19:54:51 GMT

While I enjoyed both of them, it's not going to impact my buying. I understand that layoffs happen in most businesses from time to time.

There are a lot more I'd like to see gone too!!!! Some of the new ones are not good at al!!!! I just refuse to watch a few of the hosts. Seems they keep the bad ones and let the good ones go!!

It's pretty much the same thing.

Agreed! Many of the new shows are just not good! They are not naturals at it, and their presentations seem forced, and fake enthusiasm. I absolutely cannot believe they let Carolyn go. That's terrible.
