Someone has left the "Casa"......

he didnt quit casa. he was fired.

Nearly nobody gets fired by Liberman; you know you don't want to work there a lot faster than Liberman realizes he does not want you.

o rly?
 
In the grand scheme of things, does it REALLY matter how his employment at Casa ended? ::)

You get fired from Lieberman like any other company. Its complete nonsense to state otherwise,but then considering the source,no wonder the A.Retentive award has had a consistent winner.

Acutally, the turnover at Liberman is quite high... most people do not stay there long:
 
Small wonder. The pay is cheap and they fire competent employees,and retain the riff-raff.

Is there an echo in here?

Fired or Quit (Eduardo).. who cares?

What matters is this was the eves guy on the #3 station in the land, then mysteriously split to the CASA and is now slinging wax at the BARRIO?! That is just a sad state of affairs what this market can do to decent talent.

Keep in mind that each of those moves could be a step up. Evenings is a "throw-away" daypart, as there is only a minimal amount of sales generated 7-Midnight, and such shifts often do not pay as much as the Casa gig might have under Entravision. From the new Liberman shop, going to the largest Hispanic broadcaster could also be considered a step up in any capacity. Keep in mind that the Kalle morning guy (on all the Kalle stations, of course) was reported in the trades to be making a mid-7 figure income.
 
Which proves PT Barnum right. " You can fool some of the people some of time, and you can fool all the people all of the time."
 
I didn't get fired. Secondly, I did give a two week notice but Liberman told me to turn in my keys and leave. All I did was start earlier than anticipated. I had no guarantees from Liberman. The guarantees I got from Univision were much better, not to mention the fact I was getting a better time slot. Some people talk about Loyalty, but in radio there truly isn't any loyalty. You have a bad book , you get fired. You piss off the wrong fellow employee, you get fired. With that in mind, when you get a better offer, why not take advantage??? Now days it's all economics and politics. Real radio died years ago.
 
Domino, You are right about real radio lost years ago. All radio is now days is for BIG money. Big money for the company that manages your station. Domino, you are a great radio person...you have done a lot in the DFW radio market. You should be treated better by management. I think the way managerment companies are running radio now...is why radio is DFW and across the nation sucks. I hope they will learn someday soon.

Talk to all later,

"I didn't get fired. Secondly, I did give a two week notice but Liberman told me to turn in my keys and leave."

Thats called being fired no matter what coat of paint you try to apply on it.

"Real radio died years ago."
You are absolutely correct. Homoginized assembly line of blandness,only real estate.

Lenard hardly ever lets people work out notice. He tells them that he would prefer not to have the added two weeks. In fact, I know only one person who was asked to stay on longer...

Not taking the notice period is not being fired... it is simply being told that the manager does not want people who have decided to leave to stay on.
 
Dress it up all you want...which CONsultants do..He was fired. When you are told to turn in your keys,etc..you are fired , in this or any other job. Domino is now one of your Lunavision robots,so of course you will defend him...'nuff said"
 
I don't want to be a dick, but don't you think there's a big difference in telling your boss you're quitting, and being told to tuen in your keys, etc, and just flat out being told to turn in your keys?

In the first one, you're quitting.

In the 2nd, you're being fired.

I don't know Domino, don't work for "Lunavision" don't know Eduardo, don't have ANY dog in this fight whatsoever. But I know there's a difference between quitting and getting fired.

Additionally, many stations have policies about rehiring 'fired' employees. And some labor laws have issues about 'rehire eligible". Generally, when you quit, you're rehireable. If you get fired, you're not.

My bet says the paperwork in HR says Domino quit...
 
Additionally, maybe some of you peeps who keep getting canned can chime in here. I've never been fired so I wouldn't know :p, but if you get fired, aren't you generally eligible for unemployment?

I would think that firing someone who's quitting would be counterproductive. If they quit, you just pay them their last 2 weeks salary. If they tell you you're going to quit, and you fire them, you're liable for part of their unemployment wages, you're unemployment insurance rates go up, etc, etc...

Probably cost MORE to fire a quitter, than to suck it up and pay them their 2 weeks...
