* Laid off or fired (regardless of tenure): Here’s your severance. Get out.


So is my experience atypical? Or do we just expect these things to work differently with a high-profile media personality?
Your experience is probably typical, but you’re missing the point.

Robertson and Mansbridge were allowed to get old and retire on their own accord in their 70s.

Why does Laflamme, the top voted anchor, get the boot at 58?

Some say cost cutting, others say misogyny.
