In Reply To: I don't like to see people fired, but Forrest is an exception in my book. You can say all you want about the guy, but this was a man who toyed with employees. He hired toadies to do his dirty work and encourged snitching on fellow employees. But I have to say that the day Forrest fired me, on some pretty shallow grounds, was the day I had a ton lifted off my shoulders. I thought his sniping at the other stations and his picture of the "Clue Bus," was immature. I also thought his jokes inside the morning meetings were insensitive and childish. Or how about those unending recap meetings after the newscast. That boy used to love to be the center of attention in those meetings (which turned out to be such a waste of time.) Getting out of that newsroom did me a lot of good.
Message: Now that you mentioned all that, I've had a moment of clarity. I now remember why I didn't like Forrest to begin with. He was so friggin hung on himself. So, I take back my original post. He got what was comin' to him. (I didn't realize he fired so many folks out there either.) Karma.
