    When You Get Fired...

    Hey FFR, i need your help.

    I got fired today. This is in no way shape or form any BS. I worked for CBS (the CBS news channel), and the affiliate i work at has a contract to do the news for the Fox station as well, because we have a good studio. I know that sounds wierd, but bear with me

    Last friday, a bunch of things went wrong. I usually work graphics design, but they had me run cameras that day because someone didn't show up. Then an audio operator didn't show up so they had someone that normally works cameras working the audio.

    Well during the middle of a show, a tape we were playing ran out early and we went to black. Someone on headsets asked what happened and i (whispered) "The tape just ****ed up" to let them know. Well apparently the audio op freaked out when we went to black, and panic'd and turned on the mic's in the studio i was in. So as we went to black, no other sound was being played, other than my voice, airing over national broadcast television, going "The tape just ****ed up".

    I got the call today. My employment with CBS has been terminated...

    So, what do I do, ffr? Be happy because I'm one of the small percentage of people who can say they've cursed on national broadcast television, or be depressed because I lost an awesome job?

    =\

                      I would be pretty worried because if that was your carrer path it is pretty much already ruined. I suppose you can always try though.

                                  egg and toilet paper the place. then slash your boss' tires and smash his windows. or you could sneek in and substitute a porn video for the actual news.

                                      @ everyone: stop being idiots. Take it to TGB.

                                      @jadez: while the network had no choice but to terminate you,what with outcry and all that, I really see no reason why you wouldn't be able to get a job elsewhere. First of all, you were running something you weren't actually hired to do. Second, it's not like you're the newscaster who called Martin Luther King, Jr. a "coon" on the 10 pm news report -- you're a behind-the-scenes person. Viewers of any other network will not know the person who dropped an f-bomb during technical difficulties has been hired at another network.

                                      Honestly, I would think even your highers at CBS would be able to make that distinction -- put you back where you were and keep you away from the production.

                                          It's definitely illegal for CBS to reveal why jadez was let go.

                                                  Wait... this was just a local affiliate, so it wasn't broadcast nationally... right?

                                                      I just think you were very unlucky. Your boss would be risking a lot if he let you get away with it. If people complained etc the only thing your boss or complaints office or whatever could really say is "Sorry blah blah the person responsible has been punished blah blah". Very unfortunate dude, really lame you lost your job for such reasons. Stretchypanda is right though, your previous employer can't say anything bad about you, give reasons why you were fired or why you quit a job to other employers, it's against the law.

                                                          I don't know, something doesn't sit right with me. I don't see how you could you could be fired for 1) substituting for a job your normally don't do, and 2) the whole situation being being completely out of your hands. I mean, isn't one of the reasons television networks have an audio operators is to prevent such a thing from happening? I understand that the FCC does fine networks for saying naughty words on air because the FCC is run by a bunch of Sunday school teachers, but I don't see why you are at fault.

                                                          Also, what time did this happen?
