 This ship has sailed , one can miss them but  this company does as it likes

@slmsia    Did it occur to you that QVC may have made a list of all eligible for retirement, called them In and offered a lucrative retirement package which they could accept or not?  We've heard of several who accepted it and one who chose to stay instead. 

This is often the procedure in large corporations which wish to avoid discrimination lawsuits.  After they ascertain how many will voluntarily retire, they then know how many to lay off.  Nobody was fired, which implies misconduct

@Kachina624 If that were the case then why no send off for either one of them? Past hosts that left voluntarily always got a little party on camera

Because it would have been in really bad form to do that for two people when 398 more were laid off.

@Kachina624 who was the one who chose to stay?

[Snoopp]

I don't believe for one minute Dan or Caroline got a lucrative retirement package from QVC, lol, but anything is possible.

I feel sorry for them both.  It is not always a walk in the park to find employment when you are in your late 50's or 60's.

@Ladybug724    Obviously the whole affair was done with great secrecy and is not being discussed by anyone, let alone celebrated.  They probably agreed to sign a secrecy agreement.

QVC is super secret about EVERYTHING, but typically corporations don't blab much about layoffs.  They're not something about which to be proud.

So much has been said and expressed on this subject.  I just wanna say I am going to miss Carolyn and I can think of AT LEAST 4 OTHER HOSTS I WOULD HAVE CANNED BEFORE CAROLYN THATS FOR SURE. UGH
