I don't think it was a personal decision why hosts are being let go- or a business decision. I think it is a creative decision and what QVC envisions for the future.
If Dan and/or Antonella have a case they believe of being terminated unfairly, they
have every rght to sue. Many people have succeeded in wrongful termination law suits.

HOW COULD YOU, QVC???!!!!
@SweetSpice Go to Linda Moss home shopping blog and post. I said some things I know I can't say here, and they posted it. It is a good place to vent and not get deleted. Most feel like me that it should have been JT

@icezeus You have to understand that we don't see it as you do. What we see is many other Hosts that are terrible and they should have been let go before the two that were.

Semantics. They lost their jobs. If they feel it was unfair they can proceed legally.

While it might seem that way, QVC is smarter than that. Technically, no age discrimination. My guess is that both were good employees, but they remained true to themselves and didn't play the game as well others. I'm betting that it won't be long before the guy at the top is gone. Look at how bad Christmas was handled on QVC this year. Wonder how many of those new customers who got free shipping are still shopping.

It may not be age discrimination per se, it maybe getting rid of staff who make high salaries. New employees with less experience can be hired at a much lower rate.

If Dan and Carolyn (and the others) want to receive the benefits offered under their separation package, they undoubtedly need to sign a Separation Agreement which includes a non-litigation clause.
That's pretty standard. There are usually non-disparagement clauses as well, so they won't say anything negative on social media.
