It's a large professional services firm (JD/CFA/CPA) for about 10 years. It's a bit different given that our ex-employees/partners become our clients or advocate for us (referrals), so saving face and continuing relationships is extremely important. Most of our employees leave voluntarily, though they may have a 30-60 required notice of intent to resign and a non-compete up to 2 years.Col. Steve Austin said:Curious what industry you work in and how long at the same company. I have 39 years with the same company and EVERYONE that has ever been fired in our operation was gone immediately, regardless of the reason. There was never a transition period for anyone, regardless of position, up to and including one General Manager. From my experience, it has been the same with other companies in our industry.Texan_Aggie said:The reason makes a big difference as does industry. For our company, If leaving for another competitor or fired for a discreditable act against the profession, gone that minute. If it's for performance or budget-related, there's usually a transition period whereby we transition projects to new staff and get them up to speed on it. I have rarely seen someone get fired on the spot and leave.Col. Steve Austin said:Exactly! I mean he was fired, not laid off due to budget cuts, reduction in force, etc. And he's been in the business long enough to know something like that could happen to anyone, including himself.Social Media Influencer said:
That's just not how it works. No station GM ever hands the microphone to a guy he just let go.
You should rewatch Moneyball if it makes you sad when someone gets cut.
When was the last time someone was fired at your place of employment (for any reason) and was allowed to finish out the day/week? Never happens.
I don't know the behind the scenes, my guess is neither Rich nor Mike were spot fired and this was a change in direction for the station. With that reason, I think both Mike and Rich were professional enough not to trash the company and would handle it well. If they weren't, there's a dump button and security to stop them real-time.
Completely understand what you are saying and Company has every right to fire on the spot, but I think that the tenure and service to the Company should have been considered. Mike was fired in an email, apparently.

Innes, Vandy, & Lopez were top notch. Once they broke up the Triplets of Houston it was all downhill. #BringThemBack
What makes you think Kamla got fired? From what I've read he left for another opportunity(Expanded role with Sirius). Outside of the morning show, 610 has gone downhill with their recent moves.Aggie Rick said:
kamla sucked, glad they picked that up quick. Maybe it's what management told him to do but he sounded like his only job was to set up Stoerner's accent for takes.
