OMG...for crying out loud....
They
Took
The
Severance
Package.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are NOT coming back.
You folks DO realize that even IF they wanted to return ( which they in all likelihood DO NOT)...they'd have to RETURN that severance, limp back, and wait for the NEXT round of layoffs, which are in all likelihood coming, at which time NO severance may be offered?
I would bet they ASKED to be considered IF any severance was going to be offered. MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY people in Corporate America do just that. MANY MANY MANY of them.
I'm beginning to think that people who post these long "Poor C+D" comments have NO IDEA what severance is, what corporations do when they lay off ( MOST just show employees the door....they get NOTHING on the way out....)
C+D appeared for a few hours at most ON CAMERA.
The rest of thier time...meetings, drubbings about increasing sales, product familiarity, sales coaching, crazy schedules, endless HR nonsense about "teams" and "Working with other hosts" (some of whom C+D may have disliked as much as many commenters here do....and we could just turn them OFF....they'd have to WORK with them.)
Then there's the commute, the traffic, the crazy schedules, the makeup, hair, wardrobe, and finally...one or two hours on camera, at least, of selling selling selling stuff, a lot of which must have bored them to tears ( like it bores US, and we can turn it OFF).
C+D will be fine.
But they are NOT going to "come back"...they'd be OUT OF THEIR MINDS.
They took the money. They added it to thier retirement. They are NOT coming back.
If YOU live in the eastern part of the USA today ( 4-11)....70's, gorgeous week, look outside, think of how wonderful it would be for them NOT to have to do the many things I mentioned above. They are retired. I hope they are fully enjoying this weather and the coming spring and summer.
Why on EARTH should they "come back"?
They were laid off.
The qualifier "lay off" in important, because it enabled them to avail themselves to post-employment benefits not available to those who are "fired"...such as unemployment, health benefits, placement assistance, education if wanted, etc.
They will be fine. But they will NOT be back.
The brutal reality? They were forgotten at QVC as soon as the seats in thier dressing rooms cooled off, and thier names removed from the door, and thier parking spots re-assigned.
That's how it works.
The ones who are left are picking up the slack, and it's obvious how bad it is at Q by the frantic, frenetic, hysterical presentations...it's BAAAAAADDDDD.
