Nicole Mitchell sues The Weather Channel

[Lightning]

I don't blame TWC for this as much as I do NBC. NBC probably had a lot to do with this.

That, unfortunately, can only be called pure speculation. Unless it can be nailed down to person "X" did "Y" and was put into place by executive "Z" from company "Q" who did nothing to prevent situation "Y," that will remain speculation.

I watched the video posted by the OP a few days ago, and IIRC, the lawyer representing Captain Mitchell did indeed present some evidence that some of the harshness forced onto Nicole was a part of NBC.. though do correct me if i am wrong.

Now that you mention it, I do recall that. The same "formula" above can apply, but works if it CAN be nailed down.

Nicole says in a radio interview, under previous ownership The Weather Channel was run by meteorologists and that changed when the new ownership took over and the harassment started.

She deserved to sue TWC That is for getting rid of her because of some lame rule.

Nicole mentioned this on FB,
I will be a guest on the O'Reilly Factor tomorrow. What great national exposure to bring light to the problem of employers discriminating against our military!

[Mr. Rainman]

Good to see she's taking this far. I'll be sure to watch the Factor tomorrow night.

Yeah! My favorite show! Can't wait to see her! I hope that NBC/TWC will go downhill for this! Its not right to "let go" someone who works for the Military.

I really hope she wins because she has awesome points about having the right to serve her country and maintain her job outside of that service. Unfortunately, people do get fired for business reasons, as stated with Alexandra Steele and with the other layoffs in 2008 and 2009, so I don't see how she can fight that very vague statement--"business reasons."

That's the problem, anyone can use the lame excuse of firing someone for "business reasons" so they don't have to justify the real reason for the firing. The fact that they won't giver her or her lawyer a straight answer to what that specifically means would tell me they want to hide what she already knows.

Interesting how he described The Weather Channel as "a service. And that "people tune in and out" for the weather. It would seem the new owners want TWC to be the opposite of that

[Mr. Rainman]

Interesting video. I am not in the least bit surprised that O'Reilly tried to turn this into a political issue near the end, though. Why he did that, I have no clue. This is clearly a bad management problem, not a political issue.

My thoughts exactly.
