It wasn't a voluntary one from the rumors I have heard. They gave her a goodbye at the end of Weekend View today.

Wow this is sad, I wouldn't have expected this. Was there any mention of the reason for her leave?

While Im not upset about it because I wasnt a true fan of Betty its a shame that she was put off. :(
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

I didn't really care much for Betty, but it's still sad to see her go. :(

Well, I didn't like Betty, to be honest. But I never thought she would leave so soon. :(

This got me thinking: since Betty received a proper goodbye today (they gave her cake and everything believe it or not), don't you think it's a bit unfair to the other OCMs who were laid off? They were thrown out like trash!  :no:

Probably just the fact that they're hiring all these new OCMs,so they're gonna start laying off the old ones. :thumbdown:

So... the average length of employment (with a very small number of exceptions) is now going to be a couple of years at maximum?  :dunno:

Yes. TWC is being oh so kind enough to let folks go at the end of their contract rather than flat out firing them

This is upsetting. I liked Betty :(, I think there are still more layoffs to come.

we still need confirmation about Warran Madden and Ryan Goswick...this is getting ridiculous, I mean you can't seriously expect these new OCMS to get paid the same amount in the next few years. They're all gonna expect a raise around the same time they were hired (futurely speaking) They're hiring too many in a small amount of time.

Specifically who at TWC is coming up with these layoffs?
