I don't know what you mean by that.

 

ANYONE can Google salaries of QVC hosts,and ANYONE can go on Qurate's current job postings to get an idea of salary and benefits they provide, and anyone can read thier press releases on the current layoffs (NOT firings) and see thier stock reports and charts and analysis.

 

No need to be a consultant.

 

Sheesh.


@Othereeeen  Let it roll off your back. Some folks day just isn't complete until they post something snide, you know, with an air of superiority. Often, it's the same ilk who admonish others not to judge.

I don't get Shop HQ, but if they only have 10 hosts, how many hours of live shows to they do in a day. Of course, they have to attend neetings, etc. Must be working their tails off.

"Easy, peasy" skills, right?  Are you as good as a 7-year old with your computer skills?  Some of those kids are amazing!

I second the recommendation to completely ignore them and not respond. 

 

Most are looking to pick a fight.

 

"How do you know that?

Where did you get that?

Why do you say that?

I didn't see or read that (meaning it's not true)

Do you have insider information 

You have no way of knowing that

You have no right to assume that"

 

Same ones all week.  You would think they don't know Google or The Internet. 

 

Ignore function activation strongly recommended.

A lot of their presentations are pre-recorded.  I am sure they have more pre-recorded shows than live ones.  

They laid off quite a few hosts a few years ago.  Most of the laid off hosts are now vendors for products sold on HSN.

where do you see the weekly program guide? I'm on an iPad so when I go to program guide it takes me to the current day's programming and does not show who the host is


@xryretriever 

 

When you're on the Program Guide page, near the top to the left of the search bar, there is a "Daily" and "Weekly" tab.  Simply click on the "Weekly" tab and it will bring up a page with the week's programs.  Click on the arrow at the bottom or top of that page to get the next week.

 

You can do the same thing for Q2 and Q3 also.  Their tabs are at the top of the guide.

Well there's your problem right there.  You're overloaded with salaries to pay.  What a gigantic decision or are some of these people trying out like Spring training for the ball clubs and they will disappear down the road?


@peggyoh   Shophq is vastly different from QVC.  They may be 1/10th the size of QVC.  Plus QVC is operating lots of different channels and streaming live channels.

 

Apples to oranges.  


Also Q seems to have a stage full of people to present one product.  I was checking out different channels and I could not believe how many people were on set.

QVC needs to get back to 1 Host per show.  Stop the party atmosphere.  The shows that have 2 or more Hosts it becomes a mess!   Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to rethink that.  If you would have stuck to 1 Host, You would not have let Caroline and Dan go.  They deserved to retire when they wanted to , not get pushed out the door.  

 

I haven't heard or seen one person yet say I love it when there is more then one Host.   NO-ONE

 

Your prices are out of hand and you are paying all these Hosts.  Can't you see that is not working?   SMH
