Marshall Seese retiring sooner or later was inevitable. He was a TWC meteorologist for many years, and the time was right for him to retire. Had he not retired, would he have survived the massive layoffs? Most of the OCM's who were laid off had a decent tenure, so Marshall would've been a target.
I say he might likely have been laid off if he did not choose to retire in November.
-
I would assume so. He would have gone in the second round of layoffs with Mark Mancuso if he didn't have the ratings. He had ratings, along with Heather, since YWT is one of their flagship shows.
-
I think he either would have been laid off or been asked to retire early. Probably the latter, since the time wouldn't have been far off anyway.

Marshal Seese was one lucky OCM.
I guess in my opinion if he would have not retired, he would have been laid off either in November or this months. And that would be awful to YWT and us fans as well. So many veteran meteorologists (and some of them are my faves) have been laid off and they were so awesome. Marshall is one awesome OCM. He is honored. :worship:

Sounds about right to me. Shame TWC showed him such dignity but didn't bother to even mention any of the OCMs they got rid off. They were just erased from TWC. :(

You have to remember that it IS a bit of a personal matter. Perhaps the laid off OCM's themselves requested that it not be made public. I know if I've lost my job I wouldn't want the world to know. They'd get the idea by my absence.
