This is not a case of your friends being fired. This is a case of a company doing business which involves layoffs. Businesses do it all the time. Popular as these hosts were to you, they are actually costing Q quite a bit of money in their saleries, insurance, vacation, etc. That is why they were laid off.
I for the life of me can't understand the attachment so many people here have for hosts on a TV shopping channel. I have been here since the beginning and I take it for what it is - A shopping channel - plain and simple.
I don't dwell on who quit, got fired or layed off. They are just people on tv. I have never met them IRL and they are not my friends.
And heaven forbid someone takes a vacation - it sends these boards into a frenzy asking where said person is.
If you are leaving because of two people being layed-off, have you thought of the other 398 that are gone too. Where are your thoughts on those people. Do you think they got the severence pkg that Carolyn & Dan received?
