Neil Cavuto makes cryptic comments about "vanilla" employee being fired by group email
Neil Cavuto - FOXNews ^ | December 9, 2008 | Neil Cavuto

Posted on 12/10/2008 2:59:19 PM PST by AmericaIsScrewed08

All I remember is how incredibly cautious he was. Not that he wasn't decisive, just that he avoided making controversial decisions or doing anything controversial at all.

E.D. was let go because she made a joke about the two Obama’s fist bump, John Gibson for comments about the death of Heath Ledger and Greg Kelly went to a local NYC News station.

Media purge?

Some commentators getting fed up spewing pre-processed spiels?

I hope some of those displaced reporters decide to spill the beans.

Fox has always been squishy as far as I’m concerned. Now that they have market share, what the heck, no need to fake it.

I dunno. Glenn isn’t very controversial.

Why would they let Greg Kelly go? He won an emmy for his work in Iraq, and his dad is NYC Police Commissioner. That wouldn’t be a wise move.

I absolutely hope it wasn’t Brit Hume!

I am going to miss him so.

Well, it’s tough because we only see the on-air personalities, who are just the tip of the iceberg. It could have been anybody.

His point contradicted itself. That is, the *person* was vanilla, but his whole *group* was fired. In truth, the vanilla person is the one who will be re-hired first. This is an odd, paradoxical truth about employment:

1) Employees who are really innovative, do more than their share of work, and really “try”, only get ‘B’s at best on their evaluations. This is because the waves them make stir things up for everyone else, especially their manager. They are associated with problems.

2) The employees who slack off, doing the bare minimum, but getting it in early, at exactly the same time and same way every time, who never make a mess or a fuss, and never make their manager *think* about them, get ‘A’s. Totally vanilla, they also make the list of “essential employees”. Again, like his example, their weakness is the group. If it goes, they go. They are not the bricks, they are the mortar. But mortar is important.

3) The brown-nosers usually don’t get laid off unless their boss does, because the boss personally doesn’t want to fire them unless he absolutely has to, but only as a last resort. However, they are tied to their bosses boat, and if it sinks, so do they.

Greg Kelly? I loved him right up until he took a place on that show. Then not so much.

Really? What were the comments by E.D. and Gibson? They are gone for good?

I know that, but it came rather suddenly, don’t you think?

E.D. commented on the fist bump by the obamas and Gibson made a joke about the death of Keith Ledger.....neither one warrented being fired, but both were pulled from prime spots and are riding out there contracts. With Britt retiring I fear this is the end of an era with Fox. I only tuned in today for Neil ...haven’t watched since days before the election. Quit cold turkey.
