Sounds like a Separation/Severance Agreement w/NDA. This industry breeds paranoia and the rank and file have become so inured, as to remain silent.. is nothing more than self-preservation.
I worked for a major company in the executive complaints department and was on the receiving end of a Finney email to resolve (a rather minor) issue for a viewer and we did. It took no effort from Finney.
I worked with Michael for many years. He was always down to earth and competent to the core. He was kind to support staff and a team player. So many consumers were helped by Michael, so I don’t think it’s fair to downplay his value.
@7:49am - I also performed that function for a time with a major corporation and when we were contacted by the media, not only did it get resolved much quicker, but we had much greater discretion in how to make it "go away."
Wrong. An intern has no equity, no book and definitely no juice. Finney's credibility and ability to resolve an issue gave him street cred. Duly earned. Negotiating is a lost art and the younger generation is vapid when it come to such things.
Don’t agree, he was overpaid and pompous. My life is complete w/o him.
ReplyDeleteContracts come to an end.
ReplyDeleteOn occasion, negotiations on a new contract fail.
Silence from each side is neither nefarious or unusual.
Who cares? Local TV Buffs, and people

ReplyDeleteHey Rich, can you find out why Audrey Asistio has not been on the air lately at NBC 11?
ReplyDeleteSince Audrey spent most of her time walking around the studio with a camera maybe she walked out the door. Can do without her.

ReplyDeleteThey can hire an intern to replace Finney. Everybody has the ability to haggle with big companies who overcharge grandma for some minor purchase.

DeleteNo one misses him. If he wanted something said he would have said. Let it go….. let him have his privacy.
