Well, we will find out soon enough if Kim and Brit start a New Conservative network. Fox is still 100 percent better than all the others,just not fair and balanced as in the past. If you are let go,that is being terminated,fired for whatever reason,you are history. If she did not leave on her own she was fired. Since I have never been fired in my working life, it is foreign to me.

I think that Brit will take a network anchor job... and he does have history at ABC.

"Fox is still 100 percent better than all the others,just not fair and balanced as in the past."

While I do agree, it becomes less and less so with every passing week.

"If you are let go,that is being terminated,fired for whatever reason,you are history. If she did not leave on her own she was fired."

Let me draw an analogy.. Ford and GM just had to lay off a huge number of workers. Some of these workers were offered an early termination deal. For Cash and Benefits, these people were persuaded to take a deal and leave their job early. They were not "fired", but with certainty they were "let go". There is a difference.

"Since I have never been fired in my working life, it is foreign to me."

I own three businesses, one which has been successful for 31 years. I have tried to fire myself on many occasions, but it just never works out! ;-)

Let go in my terminology is that you have a contract up for renewal and your employer decides not to renew it, yes you could decide not to renew yourself but in reality if you are going to do that you normally go before contract renewal.

I have not been let go or fired myself I have been made redundant but when they made over a third of the workforce redundant and I was one of the last in I do not count that a minus to me. In fact it was a plus because within a week I had another job on half as much money again and have steadily progressed in the company over the last 25 years to my current position of Product Manager.
