His LinkedIn profile indicates that he is "open to work," and under Experience, it shows that his role as "On air personality on QVC..." ended in August.

 


@NewerNickname  Thank you. I had a feeling something wasn't right. 😔

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

WOW, this is very shocking to say the least. I believe,Mark Charles has been there for almost a quarter of a century, since early 2000's! I remember him talking about some anniversary milestone of his time at QVC during a show within the past year or so.

 

It must of been some huge NO NO or violation in the workspace for someone of that status and tenure to get canned. That is a shame, as I always enjoyed him.

@QVCTVSpree   You're so right about it being a long time.  He was with his company, as an on air brand rep for QVC products for 24 years and 5 months.  He celebrated his 24th anniversary in his social media posts this past April.

@Caaareful Shopper    YES, I recall Mark just speaking about it on air. What a shame and must of been something very serious for him to lose all his spokesperson jobs under the QVC umbrella. I can't imagine what Mark could of done to violate such terms.

I wonder if David Venable was truly acting shocked when the Coffee Talk guest asked the ? about Mark or I wonder if David already knew what really happened.

Theres no way to verify if its true but on one of the QVC related subreddits someone said that he was bad mouthing the vendor rep company CEO on internal company emails with another employee. They way they worded it sounded like it wasn't just once or twice but it was going on for a while.

@tmbdp2001    Thank You for this info and this makes much more sense as to how he could be relieved of his duties after a quarter of a century working at the Q.

It is also not unusual that when a company is struggling financially, the more expensive aka experienced people go first and the younger, cheaper people come in.

The Reddit revelations are explosive. 

 

Definitely a cautionary tale about being very, very circumspect with emails.  Particularly in a workplace setting.  It can always come back to bite you.
