6 months is about to turn into GONE........
Here is how I am looking at this:
He’s been making an average of $10M per year over the past 11 years.
He is currently in a contact that pays $13M/yr for 5 years.
The press release indicates he is being suspended without pay for 6 months.
The press release does not indicate whether his contract contains a morals clause that covers this kind of infraction, and it is not clear if he has any kind of guarantee which might require NBC to pay out either the reminder of his contract or some portion of it.
I will guess that the “morals clause” elements of his contract did not anticipate this kind of behavior, and that there is some guarantee in his contract.
So, here is a guy who was paid $100M over the last decade, can probably garner $30M more in being bought out of his contract after he is axed at the end of this “review”.
It is impossible to develop sympathy for a person in this position.
Comcast shareholders (owners of NBC Universal) should raise hell about this issue as well as the $600k/yr x 3 years for no output paid to Chelsea Clinton.
The douche bag was never coming back anyway..the guy is a walking train wreck, couldn’t have happened to a nicer person
Yep, when they announced the “suspension” I knew there was no way he was ever going to come back, they just needed more time to get their ducks in a row, legal-wise, before making it official.
He should be fired and that’s it! Six months suspension allows him to ride off into the sunset.
Going. Going .... Gone
