many of us are considering pulling the plug on the Q. Long time shoppers do not like the direction the channel has headed, it's turned into Comedy Central. Removing two of the calmer hosts shows me they want loud antics, they think that will sell. I am tuning OUT. Sweet Carolyn must be devestated. Dan may have been close to retirement anyway ,,,, couldn't they have just waited til he walked away on his own terms. There is no humanity left at QVC. Other hosts better watch their back. This new CEO is heartless.

After all you have no idea why the host was let go.
@Janey2 , But why interupt a meltdown with common sense.

I was in total shell shock when I saw the news couple hours ago on facebook! Mad angry upset you name it. I guess they must have fired her right after her show yesterday? I feel they should have made an announcement and I also feel its "age discrimination" too!!! Seems whoever worked there 30 plus years ...I dont want much if at all HSN but I see they also let Shannon Smith go too! Its said that 400 employees were laid off but this is a shell shocker to me on Carolyn (Dan as well!)
I have already been slowly pulling away from the Q already but I will even moreso now. No one will ever replace the chemistry the two of them had....the Garolyn Show!!!! Best team EVER as far as Im concerned on the Q!!!!
See they bring in the youngins hoping for getting a more younger audience and also dont pay as much to the younger hosts! As upset as I am I almost count this just even more as a Blessing as ****** as I am for Carolyn and Dan --- meaning, I've already pulled back but this gives me even MORE reason to really pull back...not to mention prices are a single top is outrageous and yes I know I know prices have gone up everywhere still...I can now go to higher end stores and get better quality for just about the same price if not cheaper and deals on top of it! So that...part, is a blessing but this really sucks about Carolyn, and Dan!

And as the economy tanks, there will be much more layoffs and terminations.

They were probably near retirement and were offered a deal. That happened where I worked. They will be fine. Young and hip is in, tiktok era.

Ok, I have to say it : Carolyn and Dan gone and a couple of others still there . What a shame .

I've taken my money elsewhere since last month and will continue to do so...

LOL - I very much doubt TikTok users are going to be QVC's new demographic! Nor "young and hip" people, no matter how much TPTB hope for it.
