CBC fires Jian Ghomeshi

[Sal]

One month/year of service is standard for dismissal without cause.

that's standard, yes, from my experience it is seldom followed, we were cheap and we always doubled it

in his case I'm betting a year or more...millions anyway

 

[JLM]

me too, most companies do even for your average employees

for big producers there's a lot of rope and some of it is even stretchy but bottom line is company safety

today even in lower positions such as mine that I currently occupy, the pay rate is decided upon by the amount of damage your mistakes can do to the company...thus on my contracts, I have three levels of pay that I bounce around between depending upon what I am doing...it doesn't vary by a lot of dollars per hour difference but it still varies



don't know, only am fairly certain the severance will have been substantial

Two days pay would have been very generous for that f**Ker!

See, some people have already made up their minds without having all the information. It's unfortunate there are so many closed-minded people.

 

[CDNBear]

We don't know whether they did or not. When this story initially broke, it was about his sexual preference and then became about alleged criminal activity. One is none of the CBCs business and one is a police matter.

I'm reading the agreement between the CBC and the Canadian Media guild right now.

You should probably do the same, you'd save yourself a lot of embarrassment.

See above, oh closed minded one, lol.

doesn't matter, it's not a personal thing, it's about protecting the company and what he has produced for them before all of this surfaced

it will be bloodless and cold

even if what they viewed makes them wnat to vomit and kill him

Expressly outline in the binding agreement.

Good for you

 

[CDNBear]

Good for you

Well I like to be informed. I leave making silly and embarrassing comments to you. lol.

exactly

black and white....no emotion

Bingo.

Protecting the company could possibly have occurred by removing him from his position or suspending him. As I've said, there are more option than the status quo and firing him and that is regardless of what has actually occurred

Just because there are other options, doesn't mean they have to use them.

I can understand union solidarity, but now you just look silly grasping at straws.

 

[Cannuck]

Of course it doesn't. Try and keep up.

Says the guy that just stuffed both feet in his mouth, repeatedly, and then shoved, lol.

Oh dear, looks like I've upset you.

absolutely correct

CBC chose for whatever reason known at this time only to them to fire him

I do not know what was written in his contract nor the length of his current contract. I doubt we will know for a long time. He will be gagged so he won't be revealing anything about it, ever.

We will have to await another leak and that could take a while. The leak about the video will have been well planned, his severance will gain the company nothing so there will be no haste on their part.

I imagine a lot of facts will come out if and when criminal charges are laid. It would be interesting to know what the CBC knew and when...and what they did about it if anything.

yeah, the length of that rope is the question

I don't think the CBC was obligated to do anything. They chose to cut ties when it went public and therefore distanced themselves from the s-h-i-t-storm. I wouldn't call it an obligation.

 

[CDNBear]

Stop being silly, me pointing out what you did there, isn't indicative of my state of emotion. It's just an observation, but thanks for the laughs.

It clearly states that activities outside must not adversely affect the employees ability to perform their duty for the corporation, nor adversely affect the corporation.

I'd say he's done both.

And since only a moron wouldn't be able to fully understand the viewer-ship and advertisers backlash from this. He had to go.
