Why did they "let her go"?

When someone on the boards posted she was let go, I was surprised. She always did a great job, wonder what happened?

She was such a good rep for the company and it seemed to come out of nowhere.

Wow, she's been with them for what seems like forever. Ever since that guy left, the old rep from the early 2000's. At least 15 years. Too bad if she just lost her job like that. I realize, it "happens everyday" but still. I thought she was a good rep. I must say though....after 15 yrs, I always think, gosh, they must get tired of saying some of the same things.

If I really liked a product I wouldn't stop purchasing just due to the termination of an employee.

This actually happened in June. Amy is actually taking time off with family and is doing some fashion and lifestyle blogging.

It's normal life in a big corporation to be scare of losing your job. People are just numbers and dollar signs to a big corporation.

I agree people lose their jobs everyday, however it does seem to be a trend for the long time on air hosts to be abruptly departing at the Q in the last several months. I did read where Clarks didn't like the fact she was doing a book deal and working at Clarks - maybe conflict of interest? Not sure.

That was my first thought seeing the TSV. Amy won't be there.

I knew something must've been going on with Amy not being there for so long. I really liked her too.😔❤️

That woman with the dark curly hair that took over Earth Brands when they let Sally go, was doing a Clarks presentation I saw online today. I think it was a recent one. She seems to be the fill-in girl that doesn't get cut...so far..

I'm thinking moving into the near future we're going to witness many "old timers" either being fired or deciding to retire early with a severance package offered to them by companies that are looking to reduce the cost of these higher earning employees.

Increased profit year-over-year is expected by whatever means necessary.

I'll miss Amy. I recall the presentation years back when she had to leave the set due to being sick. I thought "she's pregnant!" and so she was, with her first. I wish her well.

Amy was great to watch. My guess is Clarks sales were down and she was pulling in a big paycheck. It always boils down to cold hard cash with big corporations. She has stated that she is now interested in a host position at the Q.

I am a Clarks girl thru and thru --have been for many years and altho I did like Amy and am sorry she was let go, I will still buy Clarks shoes.

Re: Clarks -Amy Olsekin

Shelbella262 — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 13:05:16 GMT

I just don't think the earth/new clarks rep has the polish and vocabulary Amy had when describing the shoes. I never liked her presentations on any of the brands she reped - but here we are....

Remember Steve, the rep before Amy? People loved Steve and they were sorry to see him go. Thought noone would be able to fill his shoes (pun intended). Then along came Amy and we got to really like her too. Whatever the reason, time marches on.

I can not believe that some people will stop buying shoes because Clark's rep was let go.Sillness statement I have ever read.Amy did a nice job sorry she was let go

Re: Clarks -Amy Olsekin

Maybe she was let go because she was there for years and therefore earning more $. New people are always cheaper, and often get less benefits.
