Some folks are very easily ‘offended’ nowadays, and think that gives them the power and the right to try getting somebody fired. They see it all the time on YouTube.
It could be that, or it could be Jim barely did anything at all, but ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Inc would not mind getting rid of this expensive employee anyway (BEFORE he is entitled to full retirement benefits) and replacing him with a college kid. Maybe not even replacing him at all. Just use recorded announcements.
What's next, get rid of Vanna? She's a national treasure.
