But I can imagine a few other things, he was snarky, and was clearly put-off from the beginning, she probably thought he was an arrogant vainglorious bonehead!
He may well have been difficult. Perhaps as tie went bu they became less enchanted with his material and his ability to work with them, -sounds likeit from his complaints.
Fact is, you ditch people like this with varying degrees of finesse all the time in business. It's good management.
What? She should have kept him on staff because changing the plan might offend his ego?
Having said that, I have come to despise certain things about Dr Laura, -EVEN- while knowing she's right about 90% of the time.
I cringe at the way she treats "losers".
No finesse. And she is capricious with her compassion.
-Being "Frank" is cool, but she's just bombastic at the worst time. -Pregnant 16 year old calls in and gets 9 yard of bathos. followed by the classic: "BECAUSE YOU KICKED YOUR HEELS BEHIND YOUR HEAD FOR SOME LOSER!?" There are times when I could tell that people were made to feel terrible, and that's no way to get a point across.
She could be equally staunch adamant, firm without the catty denigrating. -Bad role model IMO
I did like her though, when she wasn't shreikin'
Our local market just replaced her with Glen Beck and I have to say it's a pleasant change from the "Shrew like harping". I guess the moral is, we all need a little shrew-like harping, but in moderation ;> Does every radio station in America need Dr. Laura, ya. -Could she tone the "MEAN" down a bit? Ya.
Or this one.
My only criticism is she jumps to conclusions too often on what the caller's problem is - I know she can't let them go on forever but there is some middle ground between cutting them off so she can give an answer that has nothing to do with the issue and boring the audience with minutiae.
It's almost like she's not even listening. I know she would say something like she's been doing this for years and she knows where the caller is going, but her answer isn't even close to what the caller needs. She's definitely not intuitive which she probably thinks is an advantage but it really isn't in her field.
Do like her family values though.
