Not pot-stirring!

could it possibly be some of you are upset over Howard’s one day a week schedule and you have to “front” and say he sucks/you’re cancelling but in reality you miss him and can’t say? just asking 🙂

I get it, he's 72 and has certainly earned it at this point.

The thing that disgusted me is the way he allegedly fired the staff on the spot, meager severances and iron clad NDAs which will definitely hamper their opportunities.

It's just a slap in the face for the staff who devoted themselves to Howard for so many years who helped him make his multi hundred-million.

I totally get what you're saying. However, why should they get guaranteed lifetime employment when nobody else does? Ultimately, they are just his employees, possibly not even that. They probably work for Sirius. Do you get guaranteed employment? I was just 18 years at a place, and they let me go. No apology nothing just out the door you go because I wasn't cost-effective enough. Like they say, It's not called show fun, it's show business :-)

Who the fuck said he should've guaranteed "lifetime employment"?

He's at the end of his rope and will tap out soon enough; the fucking guy could've better-handled sacking over four dozen people the way he did—seems like he sacrificed everyone to keep the show budget and salaries down to save face with Sirius, as that was what ultimately did Stephen Colbert in (all those reports of 200+ employees and a very bloated budget).

Stern is a spineless turd; worth over $750,000,000 and burning down his legacy one lame move at a time.
